DAAC
District Accountability and
Accreditation Committee
Parent and community volunteers have long been and will continue to be vital contributors to the success of the Cheyenne Mountain School District. While most volunteer groups and opportunities are based at the school level, one of the largest District-wide committees is the District Accountability and Accreditation Committee (DAAC).
The DAAC is a 27-member committee comprised of principals and parent volunteers from each District 12 school, non-parent taxpayers, parents-at-large, a teacher-at-large, the superintendent, and other District administrators. The two most critical tasks of the DAAC are (1) to review the goals, objectives, and plans of each District 12 school in order to formulate recommendations to the Board of Education regarding each school's accreditation status, and (2) to formulate, conduct, and report the annual District 12 Parent Survey.
This survey, distributed electronically to each student's household, solicits answers to questions on topics ranging from curriculum to food service, and from school safety to homework.
The data from this survey is used by school accountability and accreditation committees, principals, and faculty members to help identify goals and actions for the subsequent school year. Ultimately, the data from this survey and the associated action plans become an integral part of the DAAC accreditation process.
