School Accountability Committee (SAC)

Colorado State Statute 22-11-402 and BVSD policies AE and AE-R established SAC powers and duties

Each school is responsible for establishing a School Accountability Committee (SAC).  Colorado State Statute 22-11-401 and BVSD policy (AE-R) determine membership requirements.

The District Accountability Committee (DAC) is a state mandated committee in which the district community engages in meaningful consultation in performance and improvement planning. The DAC advises the Board of Education on budgetary priorities, unified improvement plans, student growth and achievement, district policies, family engagement, board policies relevant to the work of the DAC, and jointly determined topics of study.

The DAC promotes effective accountability by gathering and disseminating information and perspectives from various constituencies, ensuring transparency, the timely evaluation of district performance, and the free flow of information across school, district, and community levels. The DAC maintains autonomy to independently engage parents, school leadership and staff, district leadership and staff, and the Board of Education to make recommendations on district priorities within its scope as defined in this policy.  

Specifically, the DAC shall fulfill the roles and duties outlined in BVSD policy AE-R and in Colorado Revised Statutes 22-11-301 and 22-11-302.
