Overview
The School-Family Partnership Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) was created in February 2005 to begin the implementation of the School-Family Partnership Policy. Committee members were appointed by Superintendent Raj Manhas. The committee is composed of a diverse group of parents representing elementary and secondary schools across the district.

Over the course of several months, the committee researched and identified family involvement strategies that would address the unique needs of Seattle Public Schools. Through this research, the committee discovered that a meaningful improvement in family involvement in Seattle Public Schools could only be accomplished through the development of a greatly expanded, supporting infrastructure and the adoption of proven effective methodologies.
The District School-Family Partnerships Plan was completed by the PAC and presented to Superintendent Raj Manhas on June 29th, 2005. The committee continues to meet monthly to oversee its implementation.

Below are resources we hope you find helpful regarding the PAC:
