DPAC in the News

Back by popular demand for his fourth term as chair of the School District 57 District Parent Advisory Council, Don Sabo knows he won’t serve in that position for a fifth year.

“It’s in our constitution and bylaws that our chairperson is only a chairperson for four consecutive years,” said Sabo, who was re-elected on Monday. “I’ve put in four years and we’ve got a good vice-chairperson [Sarah Holland] and I will be mentoring her for the coming year.”

Holland served as DPAC’s district associate last year and in Monday’s election she replaced Michelle Rolfes, who stepped down as vice-chair. In other DPAC election results, Gillian Burnett is the new treasurer, replacing Chris Finke. Darlene Campbell is the new district association and Steve Shannon was re-elected to as a director-at-large.

The DPAC serves on the school board working with trustees and school administrators to serve as a liaison with each individual school’s parent advisory councils. It represents parent interests at public school board meetings held each month throughout the school year. The next public meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 29.

“It’s going to be another interesting year,” said Sabo.
