Commissioner Driscoll said, "The Board and I are committed to establishing advisory councils that will work actively to help improve public education programs and advance student achievement. We encourage applications from educators, parents, students and other community members who have an interest in and commitment to education reform."
Members of the councils are appointed for a three-year term and serve without compensation, but may be reimbursed for expenses incurred. Each council meets 4-6 times a year at times and locations determined by its members.
Letters of intent and resumes are due to the Department of Education by October 1, 1999. After reviewing the applications, Commissioner Driscoll will make recommendations to the Board for appointment at the October 26, 1999 Board meeting.
Three or more slots are available on the following councils.
