Multicultural Advisory Council (MAC)
The BISD Multicultural Advisory Council has provided service and guidance to the district since 1986.
Our Goals for Every Student
The goals of the multicultural education program are for each student to:
| ✓ Feel valued and respected | ✓ Be successful, both academically and socially |
| ✓ Recognize and understand diverse perspectives | ✓ Make meaningful contributions in a democratic society |
How MAC Works
MAC is an advisory council as outlined in BISD Policy, with an independent leadership structure. BISD employees participate in the council along with family and community partners. The district supports the council as outlined in Board Policy 2133 and Board Procedure 2133.
Everyone is welcome. All staff, students, families and community members are invited to attend MAC meetings. See the meeting schedule for dates and location.
Mission Statement
To create an inclusive environment where all students, teachers, non-certificated personnel, parents and administrators feel safe, secure and understood…truly feel valued as unique individuals. In this environment, each can be free to learn while interacting caringly and positively with the commonalities and differences present in our diverse school community.
This will help our students to freely embrace diversity and differences as desirable traits and as strengths and uniqueness of our country, as they confidently become contributing members and leaders in our increasingly diverse society locally, nationally, and globally.
