Every Student Matters

Board Committees

The Board of Education values input and participation by members of the school community and has established board committees.

These committees are chaired by a member or members of the Board of Education. These committees are not empowered to act beyond reporting to the Board of Education. The committees meet at the discretion of the chairperson.

If you are interested in serving on a committee, please email the District Clerk at murrays@esmonline.org with your name, contact information and what committee you are interested in serving on. All committee meetings are held in the Board Room at the Junior-Senior High School.

AD HOC COMMITTEE

From time to time, the Board of Education may establish an Ad Hoc Committee to be tasked with a specific purpose.

The Board of Education has created an Ad Hoc Goal Setting Committee to develop a “plan to a plan” for the Board to set annual goals.
