The Classified Advisory Council (CAC) is comprised of a representative from each school/department in WS/FCS with the purpose of raising district-wide concerns and recommendations to senior district leadership. Principals and supervisors will choose a representative for each of their schools/departments. The school/department CAC representative will first work with administration/supervisors to develop site-based solutions.  If the issue is a district-wide concern, it should be shared with a CAC Executive Committee member and will be added to our quarterly agenda.  CAC representatives are responsible for sharing the meeting notes and information with their staff members.

Greetings!  I am Wendy Hall, and I am the 2023-2024 chairperson of the Classified Advisory Council (CAC). On behalf of the Classified Executive team, we would like to welcome you to the WSFCS system. I have been an EC/TA for over 23 years. I hope this year we will continue improving our communication between classified employees and the district. Please see the link in the sidebar for the BOE definition of a Classified Employee if you are not sure who one is. Together we are a large part of the school system and, as the African proverb says, it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to run this district. I personally want to thank everyone for the hard work you put forth to make it work. The future of our students is worth all the energy we put in into seeing them succeed.  

If your principal/supervisor chooses you to be a classified representative for your school, you will be attending the CAC meetings and then going back to your work site and sharing the information you received.  Please let your peers know that you are the representative for your school, so they know who to come to if they have questions. All questions that come to the Classified Executive team are anonymous and we respect the privacy of all employees.  

Remember to some small steps are giant.
