June 8, 2020

The School Board of Lee County is actively searching for members to join their Citizens Advisory Committees. These committees meet on a regular basis to provide input, support and advice to the Board.

There are five committees on which members of the public may serve:

• Construction Advisory Committee (CAC)
• Continuous Systemic Improvement (CSI) Advisory Committee
• Curriculum Advisory Committee (CUAC)
• Equity and Diversity Advisory Committee (EDAC)
• Finance Advisory Committee (FAC)

Anyone interested in serving on one of these committees can fill out the committee's online application by the end of business on Friday, August 14th. School Board members will choose and approve new members at one of their following meetings. Members serve for two years. Members may be appointed to serve additional terms on the same committee.

In appointing members to the Advisory Committees, the School Board shall make every effort to reflect the diversity of the community population whenever possible. In addition, Board Members will seek to appoint citizens with knowledge and skills that are beneficial to specific committees. All advisory committee meetings are open to the public and will be videotaped and uploaded to the District's YouTube channel. Each committee shall be subject to the Sunshine Law.

Online applications will be taken continually to be considered for appointments made when vacancies occur throughout the appointment year(s) on each of the committees.
