PACT Committees

PACT is all about partnering with parents, staff, and students. One way we do that is through committee meetings where we collaborate on curriculum, programming, policies, and finance.

The council works to improve services and expand educational and extracurricular opportunities for students with disabilities, ensuring every child is supported in reaching their full potential. Members include parents of students with disabilities—as required by the State of Minnesota—along with teachers and staff appointed by the council chair.
