The Vancouver School Board adopted a plan in 1975 to achieve two goals: the first was to enable parents and guardians to play an active role in educational decision making, a role that parents and guardians had been seeking as increasingly sophisticated consumers of the education system; the second objective was to increase community awareness of school programs based on the assumption that knowledgeable parents and guardians would be strong advocates for Vancouver’s public schools.

In keeping with this plan, our False Creek PAC aims to achieve several goals:

• To provide information to parents and guardians regarding school and district programs and a regular forum for discussion of these and other topics concerning educational issues,
• To provide a variety of activities and events to build and strengthen our school community,
• To raise funds to supplement programs and supplies not provided by the Vancouver School Board,
• To provide representation at the District Parent Advisory Council.
