SERIES 1000 Community Relations

1220 Citizens' Advisory Committees

The Board of Education endorses appropriate advisory committees for various district programs and activities. When it establishes a committee, the Board shall provide guidelines for membership and delineate its responsibilities and authority. At the appropriate time the Board shall review existing advisory committees, membership, and committee goals for the year.

The involvement of the members of the public in assisting the Board of Education and the staff in reaching for the best possible decisions is a well established principle in public school education except in those situations where insufficient time will prevent the advisory committee from functioning properly.
