Committees

School Board members serve on a variety of committees. See below for a schedule of dates, times, and locations.  

There are two main types of committees: Board Standing Committees and District Standing Committees.  
 
  • Board Standing Committees are developed to focus on particular administrative areas within the school district, with a subset of Board members serving on each committee. Finance and Policy are the only two Board Standing Committees.
  • District Standing Committees also focus upon various administrative areas in the school district but may also include members of the community serving in an advisory capacity along with administrators and School Board members. The District Standing Committees include the  Education, Wellness, and Communications Advisory Committee. . 
The Education Committee and the Finance Committee are “Committees of the Whole.” This means that the meetings will take place before the entire School Board as part of the work session each month.  Dates, times and locations will continue to be advertised so that you can remain up to date with the changes and be involved in these discussions.
 
At certain times, special committees may be created by the Board for a specific assignment. These special committees will be appointed by the Board and terminated upon completion of their assignments or by a vote of the Board. These committees may be reactivated, if necessary. 
 
As they become available, agendas and notes will be posted below and on BoardDocs.  

Finance Committee of the Whole

Reviews, monitors, and communicates issues within the school district budget; analyzes legislative proposals; recommends adjustments and modifications to the school district’s budget; involved in setting the annual property tax levy; and recommends cost effective and efficient projects and initiatives for full School Board consideration. 

All meetings will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the Perkiomen Valley High School Media Center/Library during the School Board Work Session.
