Blaine County School District

The Blaine County School District Board of Trustees has the legal responsibility for decision-making in all matters of policy. While these powers cannot be delegated or surrendered to others, the Board recognizes the value of including stakeholder feedback in the decision-making process. Board Advisory Committee recommendations are one positive method of providing that feedback prior to the Board taking action. 

Board Advisory Committees act solely in an advisory capacity. The composition of the committees is broadly representative and takes into consideration the expertise of the individual committee members as it pertains to the specific tasks assigned to the committee.

To be eligible for membership and participation, committee members must:

1. Be residents or taxpayers of Blaine County, parents of children enrolled in its schools, District employees, and/or experts/professionals as stipulated in Board Policy 220.
2. Have experience applicable to the committee’s purpose, whenever possible, and varied background and perspective to complement other members.
3. Be able to communicate clearly the information resulting from the committee's work.
4. Be willing to commit to a minimum of 75% attendance at committee meetings.
5. Be willing to work productively with other committee members and District staff.
6. Not be related to or employed by any Trustees or District administrator.

Board Committee members serve two-year, renewable terms that start October 1 (the Term Start Date) of even-numbered years. Please click on the following links to learn more:
