Two School Board citizen advisory committees may be of particular interest to League members:

Career Ready and Special Education applicants use the same online application and select the committee for which they would like to be considered. WJCC notes that an individual may serve on only one committee.

Serving on a local advisory council or committee is one way community members can contribute their experience and perspectives to local public institutions.
