Agenda Item Summary: Advisory committees provide expertise, facilitate community input, and utilize multiple sources of information to advise the Board on areas for continued growth and improvement. The School Board benefits from its partnerships with the community, particularly the experience and insight provided by its volunteer committees. It is essential for the Board to assess the processes, goals and support required by its advisory committees to keep them functioning and
thriving.

On March 18, 2021, the School Board voted to create the Ad Hoc School Board Advisory Support Committee in order to develop ways in which the School Board can better support their six advisory committees which support the work of the Division. The Ad Hoc Committee was tasked with developing a scope of work to guide their work to review committee processes and increase collaboration with the School Board.
Background: The School Board appoints parents, community members, students and staff who bring a unique perspective on specific topics to its advisory committees. At the February 9, 2021 Advisory Committee Leadership Meeting, it was determined that the Board could better support the work of the advisory committees which led to the formation of the Ad Hoc School Board Advisory Support Committee.
Recommendation: The Ad Hoc School Board Advisory Support Committee recommends that the School Board approve the committee's scope of work.
