PACs are vital in strengthening parent-school collaboration, and our resources offer tools, guidance, and best practices to help you advocate effectively for your child’s education.
- Vancouver DPAC’s Model Bylaws for PACs and PAC Toolkit – Google folder
*** Important note: Each PAC should have bylaws and should keep them readily available to all members. If your PAC cannot find your bylaws, then you should adopt new ones as soon as possible and file a copy with the VSB, under section 8 (2) of the School Act. If you don’t have bylaws, you are not considered to be a PAC. - VSB Administrative Procedures (AP 110) for PACs
