Parent Advisory Committee
Overview
Wayne County Parent Advisory Committee (WCPAC) members often serve as an information source for other parents in their community. Each of our local school districts are encouraged to appoint one or two PAC representatives. Each monthly business meeting of the WCPAC includes a parent training segment on issues identified by the members.
"Each intermediate school district in Michigan is required to appoint a Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), composed of representatives from each of its constituent districts. The representatives "shall consist only of parents of students with disabilities with at least 1 parent from each constituent local school district and public school academy..."
