The purpose of the AAPAC is to involve and engage the parents/caregivers of African-American students in the decision-making processes leading to improving the quality of education for African American students. Our aim is to increase learning outcomes and promote an understanding among parents, educators, and others about cultural sensitivity relating to the education of African American students.

Meetings will be held tentatively on the following dates at 1:30 p.m. via Zoom

1. The preferred option for commenting on a specific agenda item or for providing general public comment under Public Comments is to submit your comment via email delatorrea@bcsd.com to Ms. DeLaTorre. Please include your name and clearly indicate the agenda item number you wish to address. If a speaker seeks to address non-agendized matters during a regular meeting, the email should indicate “Public Comment – Non-Agendized Matter.” Should the public speaker not want their name stated publicly, please specify at the top of the message.
2. In order to be read aloud during the meeting, comments must be received the day before the AAPAC meeting.
3. During special meetings, public comment is limited to items on the agenda.

During the meeting, comments will be read aloud by the AAPAC Chairperson and they will be added to the meeting minutes. Please note, the Board may exercise its discretion regarding the amount of time for each public comment depending on the number of emails received.As with in-person meetings, the African American Parent Advisory Council respects the right of the public to comment on AAPAC matters. The content of messages should be civil and appropriate for a public meeting of an AAPAC.
