The Annual General Meeting of COPACS will be held on Thursday April 5th, 2012 at 7pm and new individuals will be needed to step up to fill the COPACS executive board. We are having great conversations at our COPACS meetings and are providing direct feedback on many important issues to our school board trustees and superintendent who attend these meetings. Please help keep these conversations going buy playing a role on the COPACS executive team next year.
Become more informed about new education programs being suggested or offered, school board policies that may impact students, new concepts and learning trends/tools from our school board superintendent, discuss issues directly with our school board trustees. Become engaged at the district level and advocate for the best education system possible for all students in Saanich. If you have been on a school PAC executive, then you already have the necessary experience to be on COPACS executive and even if you haven't but just want to support our public education system in Saanich, then join COPACS!
