Fort Worth ISD Board Appoints New District Advisory Committee Members
The Fort Worth ISD appointed nine new members to the District Advisory Committee (DAC) during the Board of Education meeting on May 26.
The DAC is a 24-member group of interested individuals who meet four to six times a year to advise the Superintendent and the School Board on educational plans, goals, performance objectives, and major classroom instructional programs.

Established by law, the DAC encompasses representatives from the professional staff of the District, parents of students enrolled in the District, and business and community members. The Superintendent consults with the committee regarding matters pertaining to curriculum, new programs and initiatives, and progress towards achieving educational goals. Terms of service on the committee are two years.
Twelve members of the committee are elected by FWISD professional staff. Eight are classroom teachers, one position is an at-large non-teaching position, and three positions are reserved for campus-based administrators.
Eleven remaining positions are appointed by the Board of Education: five parents of FWISD students, three community representatives, and three business representatives. Individuals appointed by the Board must represent the diversity of the community, and additional persons may be appointed by the Board to ensure adequate diversity.
The committee is strictly advisory in nature. Each year the committee evaluates the academic progress in the district and assists staff in making appropriate changes in the District Educational Improvement Plan. Other matters that come before the committee include the District’s budget, calendar, plans for professional development, and new educational programs and initiatives. Meetings are open to the public, but only committee members may vote and/or participate in discussions.
