Pacific Area Advisory Council


The Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) Pacific Area Advisory Council (AAC) fosters community participation in the management of school affairs.

In DoDDS Pacific, we believe that the involvement of parents and other stakeholders is essential to the formulation and administration of educational operations that affect children enrolled in our schools.

The AAC creates a formal channel of communication between the director and representative members of their respective constituencies.

Members of the Council include a senior high school student; a military representative from the Pacific Command; a command representative from each of the service organizations; a parent from each Pacific area school district within the jurisdiction of the Director; the Federal Education Association Area Director; and the President of the Pacific Congress of American Parents, Teachers, and Students. In addition, the Council is comprised of other liaison members representing civic organizations including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Filipino American Association, and the Hispanic American Association.


Members of the AAC share responsibility to work collectively in supporting the Director in exercising her responsibilities to enhance and improve the delivery of educational programs and support services to DoDDS students.

Within DoDDS, the AAC creates an advisory system that parallels the district and theater advisory committees established in Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 1342.15,* “Educational Advisory Committees and Councils.”

A written report is prepared at the end of each school year describing the activities of the advisory council, summarizing the recommendations made by the council and identifying issues that should be addressed during the upcoming school year.
