D230 School Board Committee Application for Community Members
Advisory committees to the School Board assist the School Board as they determine needed changes or additions either required by State law requirements or necessary due to internal evaluations of current services and processes. The Committees are designed as a communication tool to represent the district’s larger audience. An Advisory committee’s function is not one of decision–making, but as the voice of all students’ needs as recommendations are being made to and decisions are made by the School Board.
Board Committees shall be comprised of community members, School Board members, staff and administration. Each member serves an important role in providing insight and expertise regarding topics being considered by the full Board.
In providing input to the School Board and administration, it is important that committee members do the following:
- focus on the best interests of all students without representing a narrow or personal agenda
- show courtesy and respect to other members
- fully participate in meetings, sharing thoughts openly and listening to others’ point of view
- demonstrate high ethical and professional standards
- possess interest and experience or expertise related to the subject matter of the Committee
- respond in a timely fashion to requests from the Committee Chair/Recording Secretary
- prepare for the meetings by reading packets and noting points to raise
- attend monthly meetings on a regular basis throughout the term
Applications should be submitted by 4 p.m. on Friday, June 28, 2024
Committee assignments will begin in August 2024 and will continue through June 2026.
