• Publish minutes of Citizens Oversight Committee meetings
• Issue reports to the public.

The formation and appointment of this committee will  occur as a result of Measure 26-164 passing on May 19, 2015.  There is a current vacancy for someone who is active within a business association. The School Board would appreciate seeing the group grow and have broader representation of the patrons. Thanks for considering volunteering for this important role within our community.
