Parent Advisory Committee (PAC)

GIFTED AND TALENTED PARENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PARENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE?

The GT PAC members are committed to ensuring that school policies and programs benefit all students, including gifted learners. The parent representatives serve as liaisons between the GT PAC and their school community. Parent representatives are invited to attend GT PAC meetings and share Gifted and Talented program news with their school communities. Parent representatives are encouraged to provide feedback to the committee from their school communities.

WHO IS ON THE GT PAC?

The Gifted and Talented Parent Advisory Committee is comprised of parents in Jarrell ISD who support the GT program offered by Jarrell ISD. Ideally, the GT PAC should have at least one parent representative from each JISD campus. This committed group of parents collaborate with the JSD Gifted and Talented Department, school administrators, and GT teachers to receive updates, ask questions, and provide feedback related to Gifted and Talented programming.

HOW MAY I VOLUNTEER TO REPRESENT MY CHILD(REN)'S SCHOOL?

Parents may self-nominate to serve on the GT Parent Advisory Committee (GT PAC) by completing an online application. Each campus may have a maximum of three parent representatives on the committee. If more than three parents submit applications, representatives will be selected via a lottery. Please email laura.buckley@jarrellisd.org if you have additional questions or trouble completing the online application.
