The Teacher Advisory Committee (TAC) works collaboratively within and across grade-levels and across school districts to meet the expectations within the Gates grant. The TAC reviews current grant initiatives and desired outcomes and provides recommendations to the Operations and Steering Committees regarding implementation strategies.
