Joining the PAC is a GREAT way of being involved and participating in your child's school life! Any parent or guardian of a student at Southwood can join the PAC! Parents can nominiate themselves as nominees or nominate other parents to be on the PAC. Nominees should expect to meet as a group once a month after school during the school year. The principal and PAC members are usually looking for candidates in the early Fall. If you are nominating someone else as a candidate, keep in mind that candidates should be asked in advance if they would allow themselves to be nominated. In mid-September, nominations are made at a public meeting in the gym on Meet the Teacher night. No public speaking is required. A vote is held, if there are more candidates than positions. Sometimes candidates join the committee by acclamation (no vote required).
