Citizens Advisory Council
The Council was created by the Unit 5
Board of Education in 1948 as a means of encouraging public
participation in educational planning. It is currently composed
of over 65 members who serve as a liaison between the district
and its community. The mission of the Council is to foster
district-wide dialogue and examine topics of interest.
At least five general membership meetings of the CAC are
held throughout the school year. Sub-committees meet to
help define and articulate community desires regarding education
by preparing and presenting advisory reports to the Board.
At least two members of the Board of Education and the Superintendent
or a designee attend each CAC meeting.
The CAC is composed of three parent representatives from
each school attendance center, as well as between nine and
twelve at-large members who reside within the district,
but do not have children attending Unit 5 schools during
their term. Members may serve on the Council for up to five
consecutive years. Application to the CAC is made at each
school, with the parent organization defining its own selection
process. At-large applications are submitted to the District
Office. The CAC officers select at-large representatives
after reviewing application forms, giving special consideration
to obtaining a membership that: is committed to active participation;
possesses a variety of applicable skill sets; and is representative
of Unit 5 communities.
