WHAT ARE MIGRANT ED PAC MEETINGS?

Parent Advisory Council (PAC) meetings provide parents with information about the Migrant Education Program and the activities scheduled. Parents listen to guest speakers on different topics relating to educational and health issues. Through this, they strengthen their parenting skills and also learn about other educational programs available to them and their children.
