What does the School Accountability Committee (SAC) do?

Making recommendations to the school principal regarding "school priorities for spending school moneys"
Advising the principal "concerning the preparation of a school performance or school improvement plan"
Meeting at least quarterly "to discuss whether school leadership, personnel, and infrastructure are advancing or impeding implementation of the public school's performance, improvement, priority improvement, or turn around plan, whichever is applicable"
Providing input to the district accountability committee (DAC) or district administration concerning principal development plans and principal evaluation
Increasing parent engagement
