Background Information:

The Information Committee will revisit the committee charge.

Charge:

Congressional and legislative actions are of particular importance to the school district given the amount of funding they provide. With that in mind, it is appropriate for the district to remain vigilant in keeping track of legislation which has an impact upon the district.

Therefore, this committee will be charged with the responsibility of: working with the district administration to track legislation; reporting to the Board on legislation, providing testimony when appropriate; and lobbying legislators individually as warranted.

The committee accomplishes their work specifically by review, advisement and support of the KPBSD Annual Strategic Communications Plan.
