The District Advisory Council meets monthly throughout the
school year providing a critical link between Portage
Schools and the community. DAC members provide two-way
communications by bringing grass-roots input to the Council and by taking
information back to their schools or sharing with community contacts.
The Council also serves as a focus group or sounding-board for the
District on a variety of topics impacting the District and its relationship with
parents and the community.
The Council expanded its community representation for this year. Contact
Ms. Edna Kent at 323-5148 for more information.
