How the PAC helps Parents:
One role of PAC is to be the voice of parents on critical issues that are of concern. All WOES parents should be able to effectively address any issue that has negative affect on their child.
Steps for addressing PAC:
1. First, read and familiarize yourself with the
Carteret County Code of Student Conduct as well as the
Carteret County School System Parent/Student Handbook.
The answers to some complaints will be outlined in these manuals.
2. Most complaints can be handled through informal means, with the complaint addressed at the level closest to where it originated.
(For example- A classroom complaint should first be addressed with the teacher, then the principal, if necessary.
