Parent Advisory Council (TAGAC)

Guests are always welcome!

The TAG Advisory Council (TAGAC) is a volunteer body of parents who serve as representatives of the TAG community. TAGAC advises and informs the Superintendent, the TAG administrator, and the Board regarding TAG services, as well as students' educational experiences and needs within PPS schools. TAGAC’s focus is on supporting the needs of diverse learners, and the parents of TAGAC believe that, by doing so, all students will benefit. 

TAGAC meets regularly with the TAG department for updates and discussion, to hear from parents, and to problem-solve. Visitors are always welcome! The council seeks parent members that represent the demographics of the students served by the district. Meetings are held monthly during the school year, usually on the second Wednesday of the month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. See the current schedule in the sidebar to the right.
