Background: Milwaukee Public Schools established the District Advisory Council (DAC) to ensure that parents a have an opportunity to share their ideas about the needs of children, assist in the planning and operation of Title I programs and participate in evaluating the success of Title I efforts.

Today, the DAC has grown into a diverse group of families committed to sharing their thoughts on events happening in the district. Each month the District Advisory Council meets to discuss current topics that impact students, schools and the district. Departments throughout MPS utilize the DAC as a means to share information, provide updates and solicit feedback. The District Advisory Council is an important way for MPS families to serve as equal partners with their school community, help improve district and school culture, and strengthen communication and collaboration between families and the district.
