    What is Intercultural Diversity Advisory Council (I.D.A.C)?


    Intercultural Diversity Advisory Council (I.D.A.C.) draws members from parents to represent our school at district level climate assessment/problem-solving meetings. The primary purpose of the Intercultural Diversity Advisory Council (I.D.A.C.), originally formed in 1988 as the Intercultural Advisory Council, is to assist in the formation and review of policies that assure non-discriminatory practices in all operational areas of the Clovis Unified School District. Its further mission is to assist in improving the cultural environment of the District.
