About the Kootenay Lake DPAC
We believe that the learning environment that is marked by positive parental involvement supports and enhances the public school education system.
The Kootenay Lake School District #8 is located around the perimeter of Kootenay Lake in British Columbia, covering approximately 15,000 square kilometers.
The Kootenay Lake District Parents’ Advisory Council (Kootenay Lake DPAC) is the recognized representative for the collective voice of parents in our school district. The Kootenay Lake DPAC is comprised of elected parent representatives from our 22 School Parents’ Advisory Councils (PACs), advocating for over 5000 students in our six Family of Schools' communities: Crawford Bay, Creston, Kaslo, Nelson, Salmo and Slocan Valley.
The Kootenay Lake DPAC's purpose is to support, encourage and improve all schools and school programs in the Kootenay Lake School District and to ensure that public education serves the best interests of all students.
We are proud to support PACs and parents in accessing the school system at all levels. We provide a regular forum for the exchange of ideas and information among our PACs.
As the recognized education partner for parents in our district, the Kootenay Lake DPAC consults with school district administration and Board of Education on current educational issues and proposed changes in our school district. The Kootenay Lake DPAC maintains an ongoing liaison with our 22 PACs, BCCPAC, Board, Senior Staff, and education partners, Teachers, Principals, Support Staff, and the Ministry of Education.
Parent Voice can make a difference! You are encouraged to get involved at your school and join us to work together with our District and education partners to provide our children with the best education possible.
