What is DPAC?
The Role of DPAC
DPAC represents the collective voice of parents and PACs across School District 73 (Kamloops-Thompson). Each PAC may elect two representatives, with one vote per PAC. Guided by its members, DPAC's elected executive coordinates activities and conducts business between meetings.
- We advise the Board of Education on any matter relating to education in the district.
- We facilitate communication, sending information to PACs on upcoming events and programs.
- We provide training, host speakers, and run workshops and networking events for parents.
- We function as a resource for individual parents and for PACs doing work at the school level.
Your executive
The parents behind DPAC.
Our executive conducts business between meetings, but the direction of DPAC is always set by our members. A new executive is elected at our Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, October 20.
