Board approves changes to Public Education Enrichment Fund advisory committee
Summary
The board adopted a resolution redefining the membership and role of the Public Education Enrichment Fund (PEAF) Community Advisory Committee, expanding its advisory duties and setting a schedule for 2–4 annual presentations. The resolution passed as amended to use "early education schools" terminology.
The Board of Education approved Resolution 100 (15-10A3), revising the structure and duties of the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) for the Public Education Enrichment Fund (PEAF).
Kathy Fleming, identified in the record as the PEAF grama administrator, read the resolution into the record. The resolution clarifies that the CAC shall include up to 21 members (appointments by board members, student delegates and the superintendent), outlines three core roles (review PEAF program information and data, advise the superintendent and board, and contribute to communication and awareness), and requires 2–4 annual presentations to the board with an earlier timeline for expenditure planning.
Commissioners discussed a minor amendment to change the phrasing from "CDC" to "early education schools (EES)," which was agreed and folded into the resolution. CAC co-chair Tim Lennon and other CAC members spoke in support, saying the changes would increase the timeliness of CAC advice and align PEAF activities with district strategic goals.
The resolution passed on roll call as amended (7 ayes). Staff agreed to provide CAC members and the board with updated procedures and a schedule for the January first-reading of the PEAF annual expenditure plan.
The action expands the CAC's formal advisory role and requires more frequent, timely input on spending plans; final allocations and any contract approvals will follow the board's established processes.
