Aurora Public Schools aims to have a School Accountability Committee in each school by December of 2025. This goal supports our efforts to include parents/guardians, and community voice as decision makers in the student educational experience.
SACs are established at each school and meet on a quarterly basis (some schools may choose to meet more frequently) and serve as an organizational structure and authority for making program, policy, fiscal and standards decisions.
Each SAC is comprised of the following members:
- Parent chair (1)
- Parent (2+)
- Principal or designee
- Teacher (1+)
- PTA/PTO (1+)
- Community Representatives (1+) (Must reflect the student population and not be employed by the school)
We are passionate about this approach to intentionally guide parents/guardians and community members to the table to discuss the issues that are most impactful upon our students. Your voice is valued and needs to be heard!

The FACE Team is committed to providing our families and guardians as well as our community members with learning and resources associated with the issues and topics that are most closely related to them and their student’s experience. Our team will aim to host quarterly education and engagement sessions open to families/guardians as well as community members throughout APS, so that we can learn and grow together.
As we build these sessions, we are actively looking for APS district partners who are interested in collaborating to provide a rich and comprehensive experience for our families/guardians and community.
