Intercultural Diversity Advisory Council (IDAC)

What is IDAC?

Intercultural Diversity Advisory Council (IDAC) 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 (IDAC), 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. Visit our CUSD IDAC Page:

Century Goals

Century will explicitly teach components of culture and inclusiveness throughout the year.
 
Century staff, PAC, and Student Council will teach & reteach the 24 Character Traits of Positivity Project and the 6 components of “Character Counts!” and implement a common school wide system of Positive behavioral expectations.  

Century Staff and Administration will utilize students to collaborate, model, teach, and help design materials and lessons for the student body with a focus on student inclusion and teaching cultural awareness. 

Century will publicize and communicate Positivity Project, Character Counts and student expectation information to students and the community during announcements, assemblies, and all social media outlets.  Century will create and update the IDAC page on the school website. Century students will share cultural learning at an IDAC meeting.
