BOARD COMMITTEES

STANDING COMMITTEES

The Board shall authorize the establishment of only such standing committees from among its membership as it finds strictly necessary to study operations in specific areas and to make recommendations for Board action. The following rules will govern the appointment and function of such committees:

1. The committee shall be established through the action of the Board.
2. The committee chairman and members shall be appointed by the Board chairman.
3. The committee shall be provided with a list of its specific functions and duties.
4. The committee may make recommendations for Board action, but it may not act for the Board.
5. The Board Chairman and Superintendent shall be ex-officio members of all standing committees.
6. All standing committees shall be dissolved at the end of the Board’s year--at the annual
    organizational meeting--unless they are specifically reappointed. They may be dissolved at
    any time by a vote of the Board.
7. All standing committee meetings shall be open to the public.

SPECIAL COMMITTEES

Special committees may be created for special assignments. The same rules shall apply to special committees as apply to standing committees, except that they shall be dissolved upon completion of their assignment.

COMPOSITION OF COMMITTEES

Standing and special committees shall be composed of less than a majority of the membership of the Board of Education.
