MPAC

Multicultural Parent Advisory Committee

Mission

MPAC is the Multicultural Parent Advisory Committee, formerly known as BPAC (Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee). We are dedicated to fostering bilingualism and multiculturalism in our community for both monolingual and bilingual families. We work with the school to ensure that the language programs provided are continually developing to best help bilingual children be academically successful.

La Misión del MPAC

MPAC es el Comité Asesor de Padres Multiculturales, anteriormente conocido como BPAC (Comité Asesor de Padres Bilingües). Estamos dedicados a fomentar el bilingüismo y el multiculturalismo en nuestra comunidad, tanto para familias monolingües como bilingües. Trabajamos en conjunto con las escuelas para garantizar que los programas de idiomas que se ofrecen continúen desarrollándose y así apoyar de la mejor manera el éxito académico de los niños bilingües.

MPAC Funds - Rules and Regulations

MPAC funds are available to teachers and organizations intending to support either cultural or multilingual learning within District 124. This may be through events, after school opportunities or additional curriculum or classroom supports. Cultural or bilingual materials purchased by the teacher can also be submitted for reimbursement with proof of purchase for the current school year.

Funds are limited and given that MPAC also supports all of the aforementioned resources, a certain amount will be kept for their own events and uses. Available funds will vary.

Anyone requesting MPAC funds must fill out the request form. Requests can be submitted to mpacdistrict124@gmail.com with “funds request” in the subject box. Requests will be reviewed by the board at our monthly meetings. Meeting dates are available on our district web page. The board must vote in a majority for the funds to be released. Once the meeting has concluded the solicitor will be informed of the board’s decision.

Our hope is to support our students by supporting teachers.
