Black Family Circle / Parent Advisory Committee

The Black Family Circle (BFC) operates as a Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) to recognize collective voice of Black and African American parents across ABCUSD. The BFC elected officers may advise the school board, principals and staff on matters relating to the education of the Black and African American students and families. The BFC strives to represent the diversity within our communities and contributes to the benefit of all Black and African American students by:

  • providing opportunities to educate and inform parents about the school programs, services and resources available
  • involving parents in volunteer activities
  • openly discussing parents’ concerns and aspirations for their schools.
 
Additionally, the BFC leadership participates in quarterly Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) PAC nights to provide input on district goals and strategies.
22-23
