Board Committees & Members

The Orland School District 135 Board of Education has three Board Advisory Committees that are made up of parents, staff, administrators, community members and board members. The Committees assist in gathering information and feedback from the community to guide Board decision-making.  

The three Board Advisory Committees are:

• School Community & Policy

• Finance/Operations

• Teaching & Learning/Technology

Below is a description of the process used to select individuals to serve on each committee:

1. A blind screen of the applications completed by assigning a unique number to each applicant.

2. Application responses identified by the unique number are scored by 1 Board member, 1 parent, 1 certified staff member and 1 administrator; the four scores are added together to determine a total score.

3. For each committee, the total score for each unique number will be sorted from highest to lowest and based on the applicant’s priority of serving on the committee.

4. The final step includes ensuring committee representation of various stakeholders (parent, community, and staff) from each boundary area of Orland.

5. Notifications are sent via email to all applicants to let them know if they are or are not selected to serve on a committee.

6. The data from this process will remain on file in the event an alternate is needed to serve on a committee.

 

The Board appreciates all interested parties for taking the time to complete the application and for their interest in serving Orland 135.
