FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AUGUST 28, 2012
The Calvert County Board of Education is accepting applications from residents of the Huntingtown High School attendance area for its 2012-2013 Citizen Advisory Committee. Applicants are not required to be parents of students who attend Huntingtown High school, but they must reside in that attendance area.
On August 16, the Board appointed 23 members to the committee, but two vacancies still exist for representatives from the Huntingtown High attendance area. The Board annually appoints members through a process that ensures diverse representation. Applicants may not be full or part time employees of the school system.
The Citizen Advisory Committee meets monthly during the school year on the fourth Monday from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. It conducts studies in areas of concern to the Board of Education, provides community insight into pending policies and Board decisions, and discusses a variety of issues affecting school system operations.
Information about the committee, the 2012-13 meeting dates, and the application are available on the Calvert County Public Schools website at: .
If you have questions about the committee or about whether your residence is located in the Huntingtown High School attendance area, call Gail Bennett at 410-535-7620.
