Fine Arts Advisory Committee (FAAC)

The Fine Arts Advisory Committee (FAAC) is recognized by the Board of Education. Its members include parents, Fine Arts teachers, school administrators, Board of Education trustees and representatives of the Comox Valley Fine Arts community.

The Comox Valley is a community which values and supports the Fine Arts (dance, drama, music and visual arts). As a reflection of the community, the SD71 Board of Education has made significant financial and personnel investments in Fine Arts education since at least the early 1980’s. The Fine Arts Advisory Committee (FAAC) supports the Fine Arts as a vital component of learning for SD71 students.

The FAAC’s Mandate is to:

• Promote, support and advocate for Fine Arts programs in SD71
• Educate about the value of Fine Arts
• Exchange information and points of view about the Fine Arts programs in SD71
• Provide advice, recommendations and feedback to the Board of Education and senior administrators on Fine Arts programs in SD71
• Provide a liaison with Fine Arts organizations in the Comox Valley

FAAC meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month (with some exceptions) at 7:00 pm in the library at Mark Isfeld Secondary. Join us!
