Summary

The board moved to make SEAB (Special Education Advisory Board) member selection a Board responsibility; candidates must submit letters of intent, speak at a meeting, and satisfy eligibility (parents of enrolled students and not district employees). A Feb. 17 SEAB meeting currently needs two additional members.

Board leadership announced that the district will move SEAB member selection to a Board-led process, aligned with board policy. Staff said there is a February 17 SEAB meeting that requires two additional members; interested individuals will be asked to submit letters of intent and, if eligible, attend a board meeting to state their interest prior to a Board vote.

Eligibility criteria were emphasized: SEAB members must be parents with students enrolled in the district and not district employees. The board also said it would develop a process for announcing vacancies and soliciting applicants, and it noted considerations about term limits and attendance requirements as it formalizes the procedure.
