Vancouver District Parent Advisory Council

Picture
The Vancouver District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) is a collection of parents (elected by PACs) working with the common goal of supporting education for all the children of Vancouver. They put out a monthly newsletter that is packed with resources for parents.

Their purpose is to:
  • Support Parent Advisory Councils (PACs) at the school level and to encourage them to share their parents views at the district and provincial levels.
  • Represent the views of city parents to the Vancouver Board of Education through participation on school board standing and advisory committees.
  • Advocate for Vancouver parent concerns at the provincial level through representation to the British Columbia Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (BCCPAC), Vancouver Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), and the Ministry of Education (MOE).

Vancouver District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) does not represent one voice. We try to represent the diverse views of Vancouver PACs and parents. Recognizing that each student is unique, our goal is to attain the best education for all students in our school district (SD#39).
We strive to ensure that our input to various committees and levels of government will represent the diverse views of Vancouver PACs.
We strive to ensure that the Vancouver Board of Education is communicating clearly with city PACs.

We invite all PACs to become informed and participate in the workshops and meetings with our DPAC hosts. There are twelve elected positions on the DPAC executive plus two appointed community positions. Please take the time to share your PACs views and concerns with your District Parent Advisory Council Executive members.
