Scotia-Glenville CSD Seeks Community Members for Board of Education Policy Committee

 

The Scotia-Glenville Board of Education is seeking parents, staff and community members interested in serving on its Policy Committee during the 2026-27 school year. Committee members will work alongside Board of Education members and district staff to review existing district policies and provide input on policy updates and revisions.

 

The Board values a variety of experiences and perspectives and encourages interested stakeholders to apply. Through this collaborative process, committee members will help ensure district policies reflect the needs of students, families, staff and the broader school community.

 

Time Commitment

 

Committee members will participate in a nine-month process from Sept. 30, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
