The Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is a group of community citizens and parents of special education students from local districts.

The committee functions to review the Special Education plan and advise the ISD and local boards of education of needed changes to this plan.

Description:  We are requesting approval of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Millage Resolution and ballot language. This proposal includes a renewal of our existing levy, which has been reduced due to the Headlee rollback, and an increase to restore the levy to the original 1.0 mill approved by voters in 2017. Under current law, 1.0 mill is the maximum levy permitted, and this adjustment is necessary to maintain funding levels that support high-quality CTE programs for our regional students. Approval of this resolution will allow us to move forward with placing the measure on the ballot for voter consideration.

Description:  This resolution recognizes and appreciates the efforts of Elizabeth Rye, Great Start Collaborative Coordinator since hired in 2020,and wishes her well in her upcoming retirement.
