The City of San Antonio is on the hunt for new voices to join the San Antonio Commission on Education (SACE), an advisory group dedicated to guiding the city's policymakers on all things educational. The commission, which holds a seat at the table from September through May, meets monthly to push forward the city's academic vision.
According to a recent call for applicants, the commission is casting a wide net, welcoming applications from city residents with various levels of professional and personal experience. The primary mission of SACE, outlined in the notice, is to "align with the City’s education goals, indicators, and measures," ensuring that all San Antonio children and young adults have access to quality education and that policy recommendations do not sing to the choir but reach the right quarters for change.
Applicants interested in influencing education in San Antonio can seek application assistance by dialing 210-207-6938, or by filling out a contact form. Those looking to gain additional insight into what SACE is all about, or how to get involved, can visit the city's website or reach out to Board Liaison Camryn Blackmon via email as published in the original announcement.
The commission positions itself as a body that not only makes recommendations but also endeavors to facilitate action within the community. It operates in the spirit of collaboration, looking to work in concert with others to foster actions beneficial to the San Antonio community, according to the City of San Antonio - Municipal Government . Those who have experiences in liaising with educational programs and advocating for educational improvements are seen by the commission as potential instrumental contributors to the city's academic landscape.
