Students know education is important when parents are involved with and support the school. You can make a difference by serving on an advisory committee for our district.
Below is a list of the standing committees currently in operation. Opportunities are also available at your child’s school. Parents can assist teachers with lessons, activities and the duplication of materials, or by volunteering in the main office, nurse’s room, guidance department, library or cafeteria. Mentoring training is available if you would like to help students in one on one or small group settings. Note: We strive to provide a balanced representation from each school on these district-wide committees.
Building Utilization Committee (BUC)
A committee of citizens, teachers, administrators and civic leaders who track student population trends and recommend to the Board of Education how best to utilize facilities in the district. The BUC might recommend what new construction is necessary when referendums are considered or might recommend more efficient or effective grade configurations within our schools.
