The success of the school system depends, to a large extent, on open channels of communication between the school community and the community at large. Citizens advisory committees are particularly useful in this respect, both in keeping the Board of Education and administration informed with regard to community opinion and in representing the community in the study of specific school problems.

The Board authorizes that citizen advisory committees be used as appropriate. The Board shall:

Lay committees shall confine their activities and deliberations to the specific assignment given. Lay committees may compile data, analyze problems, summarize opinions, draw conclusions, and make recommendations.

The Board shall have sole power to dissolve any lay committee and shall reserve the right to exercise this power at any time during the life of the committee.

In the absence of previous action by the Board in dissolving a lay committee, the committee shall be considered dissolved when its report is accepted by the Board.
