Indigenous Parent Action Committee (IPAC)

  • Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!

    CCSD has partnered with members of our indigenous community to form CCSD's Indigenous Parent Action Committee (IPAC). This committee is comprised of Indigenous parents/guardians and staff. The committee meets monthly and focuses on the following:

    • Illuminating the presence of CCSD's Indigenous community
    • Amplifying the voices of the Indigenous community by working directly with district leaders to make changes necessary to better serve Indigenous students and families
    • Forming cross-district partnerships to strengthen the Indigenous community network
    • Naming the continuous problems of practice embedded in the CCSD learning experience interfering with Indigenous students' academic and social-emotional success (i.e. problematic curriculum resources, erroneous representation and/or lack thereof, microaggressions, normalized harmful traditions/practices i.e. Halloween, Thanksgiving)
    • Affirming and honoring Indigenous students' presence and cultural identities

     

    IPAC Events

    The Indigenous Parent Action Committee (IPAC) is excited to announce both in-person and virtual meetings for the 2024-2025 school year. We have so much to celebrate from our gatherings last year! Excitedly, we look forward to connecting, building, and expanding on opportunities and engagement for our students.
