SUBJECT: COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

The Board and/or the President of the Board may at its discretion establish committees for the purpose of undertaking a specific task in connection with Board activity. The full Board of Education acts as a Committee for the Whole except under special circumstances. Ad Hoc Committees, comprised of less than full membership of the Board, and including others (e.g.: administration, faculty, staff, community members) as invited, may be developed of a specific charge. Ad Hoc Advisory Committees are not empowered to take binding actions, but rather will develop proposals for full Board debate and/or action.

At the request of the Board, the President shall appoint temporary committees consisting of less than a quorum of the full membership for special purposes. These committees shall be discharged on the completion of their assignment or on June 30 of the current school year. The President of the Board shall be an ex-officio member of such committees.

The Board of Education recognizes that it may be necessary from time to time to authorize advisory committees for the purpose of enlisting opinions and counsel of the general public. Such committees shall be appointed by the Board of Education. The Board has the right to accept, reject or modify all or any part of a committee recommendation.

Audit Committee

The Board has established an audit committee to oversee, and report to the Board on, the annual audit of the District.
