The Montgomery County Board of Education is seeking adults and public school students to serve on two major committees that advise the Board of Education on important and timely educational and policy issues - including career and technology education and family life and human development. The advisory committees serve an important role in providing guidance and counsel to the Board of Education and the superintendent of schools in the development and review of new and revised policies, as well as other subjects during the school year. Appointments are two years for adults for the family life committee and three years for the career and technology committee. Unless exempted by the Board, no member shall serve for more than two consecutive terms.
Members serve without compensation.
Committee meetings are typically held in the evening about once a month. The Board of Education makes every effort to appoint advisory committees in which the membership is balanced by geographic area, race, gender, and range of viewpoints. A number of vacancies exist on each committee, and therefore, all interested individuals are encouraged to apply. Organizations also are welcome to nominate individuals. This committee has three-year terms as set by law.
