Parent Advisory Board
The Learning Center established a Parent Advisory Board in the Spring of 2016. The primary role of this board is to provide a parent perspective as decisions are being made and to bring forth parent concerns or questions. The Parent Advisory Board attempts to meet on a monthly basis but meets a minimum of one time per semester. The Board is made up of five to seven parents, one teacher, the assistant director and director.
