Summary

The Citizens Advisory Committee discussed bylaws review, outreach to PTAs, snow‑day calendar concerns and meeting frequency; officers were instructed on the two‑year bylaws review process and the committee approved minutes and adjourned, setting the next meeting for May 11.

Committee members raised several governance and outreach topics and the meeting concluded with two procedural motions.

Bylaws and reporting: Speaker 7 requested a joint session between CAC and the full board and suggested topics including meeting frequency, redistricting input and improved communications. Speaker 2 noted the bylaws require officer review every two years and that any proposed changes must be distributed to members at least 20 days before a vote. Officers (president, vice‑president and secretary) will prepare a draft and circulate it for committee review in advance of a vote.

Outreach: Members discussed better connections with PTAs and PTSAs, creating a one‑page guide to recruit new CAC members, and leveraging community coordinators and existing PTA contact information. Speaker 4 (a PTSA president) described feeder‑cluster coordination and staff appreciation activities as outreach examples.

Calendar and snow days: Speaker 8 said the board will discuss the academic calendar at an upcoming board meeting and that, as of this meeting, the last day of school is set for June 16; members asked staff to communicate snow‑day planning to families.

Votes at a glance: The committee moved to approve the minutes (moved by Speaker 3, seconded by Speaker 4); the minutes were approved. At adjournment, Speaker 2 moved to adjourn, Speaker 6 seconded, and the motion carried. The committee set its next meeting for May 11.
