School Accountability Committee (SAC)
What is SAC?
This is our School Accountability Committee, which consists of parents, teachers and school staff that engage in dialogue to support each other in the enrichment of our children’s education and experience at Chipeta Elementary.
What types of things are typically discussed in SAC meetings?
- Ultimately, the conversations are centered around the premise of “are students learning, and how do we know?”. Chipeta shares information on how learning is occurring and what the focus areas are – and then members of SAC can have dialogue around questions and ideas.
- More specifically, D11 has a variety of metrics that can support this, such as the Unified School Improvement Plan (USIP), 5 Essentials & Core Measures (ambitious instruction, collaborative teachers, effective leaders, involved families, and supportive environments), Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) results and much more.
Who can be involved in Chipeta’s SAC?
Any parent or community member.
When does SAC meet?
SAC meets quarterly throughout the school year. For the 26~27 school year, meetings will take place on:
Tuesday April 6, 2027 |
People can attend meetings in person in the Chipeta library, or online through WebEx.
Meet Your SAC Chair for the 26~27 School Year: Fernando Adler
I was born in Argentina and came to this country when I was seven years old. I was always very academically oriented during grade school and completed my undergrad and masters in mathematical optimization at UVA. I spent 25 years of my career working in capital markets in London and Chicago, followed by 3 years travelling the world and writing a novel (and a half) somewhere in between. While I am naturally interested in SAC as a committee, and certainly in how it impacts my children, I also recognize that Chipeta serves a wide swath of students and their academic needs. Therefore, I am interested in ways that Chipeta can support our highest achieving students to those with different learning profiles and support requirements.
