Master Plan Update & What We're Hearing From You
School Accountability Committee (SAC)
Looking to Make a Meaningful Impact at STEM?
STEM’s School Accountability Committee (SAC) is seeking new parent and community members for the 2026–2027 school year!
The SAC is made up of parents, teachers, and community members—people just like you—who want to help shape the future of our school. While every Colorado school is required to have a SAC, at STEM it serves as an important and meaningful way for families to get involved and make a difference.
The committee plays a key role in:
-
Reviewing and supporting school improvement plans
-
Providing feedback on instructional programs
-
Making recommendations on school funding priorities
-
Monitoring progress tied to accreditation with the Board of Education
Serving on SAC is a great opportunity to stay informed, share your voice, and help guide decision-making that impacts our students and school community.
If you are interested in learning more or getting involved, we would love to hear from you at sac@stemk12.org.
