The Board of Education shall have whatever standing committees it deems appropriate.
Ad Hoc Committees
As time and situations demand, ad hoc committees may be created by the Board of Education, the Board chairperson, or the superintendent.

Manner of Selection
The principal of each school and the Board of Education shall select citizens to serve on the advisory committee for each school. Each advisory committee member shall be appointed for a period of one year.
Open Meetings Law
