BOARD COMMITTEES

 

 

The President, with Caldwell Parish School Board approval shall authorize the creation of standing Board committees, to be charged with deliberations of certain issues as deemed necessary. Such committees shall be composed of members of the Board whose chairperson may be appointed by the President, and the President shall be given the option to change committee membership.

 

The Caldwell Parish School Board shall have four (4) standing committees, as follows:

 

  1. Executive Committee

  2. Policy, Curriculum, and Personnel Committee

  3. Building, Grounds and Land Committee

  4. Athletic, Transportation, and Safety Committee

 

Standing committees of the Board shall be scheduled periodically, provided that the President, Superintendent, or committee chairpersons have the authority to call special meetings should the need arise.  Whenever possible, announcements of committee meetings shall be made at meetings of the Board, and the time and place of meetings incorporated into the minutes for purposes of public announcement.

 

Other special committees may from time to time be appointed by the Board to study specific issues.  The membership of any special committees need not be restricted to members of the Board, but shall include such persons who may have knowledge or interest in the subject studied.

 

COMMITTEE MEETINGS

 

The agenda, time and date of committee meetings shall be tentatively set by the committee chairperson, pending discussion with and approval by both the Superintendent and Board President of any proposed agenda items and meeting date.  Once approved, the committee chairperson shall be notified prior to notification of other members.

 

All committee meetings shall be open to the public, except in those instances allowed as provided by state law.  A majority of the committee membership shall constitute a quorum for purposes of making recommendations or taking any action that has been previously authorized.
