School Board Committee Vacancies Announced

The School Board is looking for a few engaged community residents to join one of the board committees. A total of 5 "seats" are open. Serving on a committee is a way of giving back to the community, while also presenting an opportunity to learn the innerworkings of the school board.

Please give some serious thought to applying for a committee slot. You don't need to be an expert on the committee's business...just be willing to learn. It's your opportunity to have your voice heard without fearing the dreaded 3-minute timer.
