    The Tag Advisory Council (TAGAC) is a volunteer body of parents who serve as representatives of the TAG community. We advise and inform the Superintendent, the TAG administrator, and the Board regarding TAG services as well as students' educational experiences and needs within èßäapp¹ÙÍø schools. Our focus is on supporting the needs of diverse learners, and we believe that by doing so all students will benefit. We meet monthly with the TAG director for updates and discussion, to hear from parents, and to problem solve.

    TAG meetings are the second Wednesday of the month.
