The E3 Parent Advisory Councils (E3PAC) ensures effective engagement of all parents. We work to support the partnership between our entire school community (school administration and staff, Parent Teacher Organization and local businesses). We plan, review and implement Title I programs and work on the joint development of the school Family Engagement policy and the School-Family compact. In addition, we develop a spending plan in consultation with Title I staff recommending how the school’s minimum 1% parent involvement allocation can be best utilized to support the needs of all parents.
