Important Information on the Future of Your School's
Parent Advisory Council (PAC):
Dear SC Community,
Your current PAC President and Secretary's children are moving to high school and Simon Cunningham Elementary risks losing our PAC. PACs are integral in supporting underfunded schools, and our school will lose $12,000 in government funding without one! PAC funding includes fieldtrips and school needs and this will hurt our children's enjoyment and learning. Without new interest and new nominations to pass the PAC knowledge to, there will be a downgraded experience in our school’s source of funding.
The PAC annual general meeting (AGM) will be held on May 16th, 2024 this is when voting by our parent body will take place on nominees presented for the PAC Executive for the 2024/2025 school year. All positions are open for nomination and available for any parent in our community who is willing to step into a role of leadership and avocation.
Please consider involvement at the executive level, even if just for our school to continue to receive their government grant money. If PAC folds, we must close our bank accounts/ gaming grant account and dissolve all assets which will make starting a new PAC down the road a much harder endeavor. It is much easier to pass the torch along and keep it going, even if the PAC
involvement is minimal. (Apply/ report for grant, create a budget and hold minimum 4 meetings in a school year)
Please watch the video below to see what we get up to and how you can continue to create an enriching environment for our children. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about executive duties.
