Parent Involvement Committee
The Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) is a parent's way to get involved in their child’s education.
Membership on the PIC is through self-nomination. Interested individuals eligible for nomination to the PIC can indicate their interest in serving by completing a nomination form at the beginning of each school year. To date, elections have not been necessary, thus we are hoping you will add your voice. Our goal is to have greater representation on the PIC from across our district. As we are a large district, please know that videoconference and teleconference are also possible for meetings. Please consider joining the ADSB as your voice will help support all students across our district.
