The Citizen Advisory Committee is a channel for public concerns, advice and communication and, as requested, will make recommendations on topics and issues impacting Kent County Public Schools' educational programs and activities.

 

Two members of the Kent County Board of Education will facilitate the committee and preside as chairperson and vice-chairperson. Eighteen members are appointed to the Citizen Advisory Committee: two members from every school, our five Community Schools Specialists (CSSs), two community members at-large and one high school student.

 

The committee is required to meet at a minimum four times per year. A quorum must be present to conduct meetings.

The next meeting of the Citizen Advisory Committee will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 23 in the media center at Kent County Middle School, 402 E. Campus Ave., Chestertown. The meeting will not be livestreamed; however, it is open to the public.
