What do School Accountability Advisory Committee’s do?

SAAC’s were created by the Colorado legislature to ensure an independent review of student achievement results and input into achievement improvement plans and budgets by parents and community members.

  2. Provides input into budget allocation as it relates to the School’s Unified Improvement Plan

What type of data or information might the SAAC consider when determining recommendations?

The purpose of any data review is to identify areas of strength and need, and look for possible trends.
