District Accreditation and Accountability Advisory Committee
Parent and community volunteers have long been and will continue to be vital contributors to the success of the Cheyenne Mountain School District. While most volunteer groups and opportunities are based at the school level, one of the largest District-wide committees is the District Accreditation and Accountability Advisory Committee (DAAAC).
The DAAAC is a 28-member committee comprised of principals and parent volunteers from each District 12 school, non-parent taxpayers, parents-at-large, the superintendent, and other District administrators. The two most critical tasks of the DAAAC are (1) to review the goals, objectives, and plans of each District 12 school in order to formulate recommendations to the Board of Education regarding each school’s accreditation status, and (2) to formulate, conduct, and report the annual District 12 Parent Survey.
This survey, distributed electronically to each student’s household, received more than 2,100 responses to questions on topics ranging from curriculum to food service, and from school safety to homework. The data from this survey is used by building accreditation and accountability advisory committees (BAAACs), principals, and faculty members to help identify goals and actions for the subsequent school year. Ultimately, the data from this survey and the associated action plans become an integral part of the DAAAC accreditation process.

The District 12 DAAAC meets on the second Monday of each month (September through May) at 4:00 p.m. in the community room of the Cheyenne Mountain School District Administration Office, 1775 LaClede Street. All DAAAC meetings are open to the public, and visitors are welcome.
