Volunteer to Serve Students through SCUSD Advisory Committees
Hello Sac City Unified Families,
Over the summer, the SCUSD Board of Education will be collecting applications from community members interested in serving on our district advisory committees.
Advisory Committee Members must be parents or guardians of a current SCUSD Student, and represent the trustee area they would serve. Right now we have three committees that we need community members to consider serving.
