Committees
The Board of Education may establish committees to assist with the Board’s governance function
and, in some situations, to comply with state law requirements. These committees are known as Board
committees and report directly to the Board. The Board President makes all
Board committee appointments unless specifically stated otherwise. Board
committee meetings shall comply with the Open Meetings Act. A Board committee may not take final action
on behalf of the Board – it may only make recommendations to the Board.
