School Accountability Committee (SAC)
About the School Accountability Committee
The SAC team serves as a venue for parents, teachers, community members and administration to discuss and accomplish goals and objectives set forth by the Rocky Mountain Deaf School. The SAC team approach is also intended to encourage shared leadership among staff and parents; and accomplish goals and objectives with both students' best interests and efficiency as priorities.
