Representative parents, staff, students and community members make up the DAC and serve as a vital link to the Board of Education. The DAC provides a community perspective to the Board of Education on important educational issues. They also assure the district and individual schools are in compliance with state accountability laws. For more information about the DAC, contact Debby Novotny, Coordinator, School/Community Partnerships, at 303-387-0128
