    The Board recognizes that advisory committees enable both citizens and educators to better understand the attitudes and opinions held in the school and community.

    As the need arises, the Board may establish advisory committees to consider school problems, needs and issues. Advisory committees will serve in a strictly advisory capacity and will not act as policy-making bodies.

    Committee members will represent a cross section of qualified people throughout the district, except in those cases where a committee is established to address the needs of a particular segment of the school community. With Board approval, the Superintendent may appoint committee members.

    When committees are appointed, committee members will receive a written statement including, but not be limited to:

    1. The committee members' names.
    2. The specific charges of the committee, including its topic(s) for study or well-defined area(s) of activity.
    3. The specific period of time that the committee is expected to serve.
    4. Legal requirements regarding meeting conduct and public notifications.
    5. Resources available to help the committee complete its tasks.
    6. Timelines for progress reports and/or final report.
    7. Relevant Board policies and administrative regulations.
    8. The procedure to be used in the selection of the committee chairperson and other committee officers.

    The Board will have the sole power to dissolve any of its advisory committees and may exercise this power at any time.

    Advisory committees established by Board action will provide public notice of their meetings and conduct such meetings in accordance with the state open meetings laws for such committees. All major conclusions and recommendations made by advisory committees will be made available to the public on-line.

    Administrative Advisory Committees

    The Superintendent may establish advisory committees to advise the administration.

    The Superintendent will provide the Board with a final report of each committee's accomplishments and will provide summary reports and appraisals of administrative advisory committees as requested by the Board.

    Expenses, Travel, Reimbursement

    The Board may allocate funds for the use of advisory committees. Within budget allocations, the Superintendent may approve requests for travel associated with the charge of the committee and reimburse committee members for travel expenses as provided for District employees.
