African American Parent Advisory Council (AAPAC)

Due to our country's legacy of segregation and oppression African American children often lag behind their counterparts in the school setting. This committee aims to hear from African-American parents on engaging and supporting their children and will provide support to parents in partnering with Starr King to ensure their students receive a quality education. All are invited!

The mission of the African American Parent Advisory Council is to provide a forum to hear the ideas of the Starr King African American parent community, and respond to those ideas by educating and informing parents of district resources policy and programs. It is our goal to empower the lives of all African-American children and families by providing the knowledge and skills necessary to advocate for a high quality educational experience for our children.

The AAPAC works to develop resources that allow parents to more actively support the academic instruction their children receive and engage with educators and administrators at Starr King, we aimed to lift every parent voice and help less engaged parents find their voice through us.
