Advisory Committees

The Citizens Oversight Committee oversees how the Proposition P (passed in 2010) bond funds are spent in the district. The bond money will benefit EUSD facilities and will assist in modernizing classrooms, renovating facilities, providing technology tools for students and teachers, providing green energy efficiency such as solar energy, and developing the district’s Farm Lab.

A Community Advisory Committee (CAC) is made up of parents, educators and community members who are involved in special education. The CAC of the North Coast Consortium for Special Education (NCCSE) provides meetings and special events throughout the year and advises the superintendents of the 14 school districts​ about special education services. Each meeting includes information on a special education topic, resources for families and opportunities to meet with other parents to exchange resources, information and ideas.

The District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) has the responsibility to advise the school district on how to improve programs and services for English learners as well as ensuring that the district complies with federal and state requirements for English learners. DELAC representatives are selected by each school’s English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) to represent their school and their suggestions on improving services for English learners at the district level.

Each district school has active PTA participation and memberships. Each district school’s PTA is led by a PTA President who oversees the parent education and volunteer programs at that particular site. EUSD Superintendent, Dr. Grey, meets on a regular basis with all district PTAs throughout the school year. For more information about the PTA units, please visit your school’s webpage via the “Schools” dropdown menu above.

Each district school has an active School Site Council (SSC) which is comprised of an equal representation of elected school staff members and parents. The SSC Chairperson helps to organize, convene and lead meetings of the SSC.

The School Site Council plays an important role in making recommendations to the principal at the school site level for funding of school programs that affect student achievement. The School Site Council consists of an equal representation of school staff and parents who work together with the principal to monitor the school budget and Single Plan for Student Achievement. The members of the School Site Council are elected by their peers, parents electing the parent representatives and the school staff electing staff representatives. School Site Council members have an obligation to make recommendations that will best serve their school’s students and the whole school community. Successful School Site Councils ask thoughtful and challenging questions such as:

• What are the goals and priorities of our school?
• What data do we have that shows how well we are achieving those goals?
• Are we progressing toward our goals?
• Are there particular groups of students who are not doing as well as others?
• What supports could we put in place to help struggling students?
• How will we fund those supports?
• How will we know if our programs are effective?
• How will we know if we are achieving our goals?

For more information about your local School Site Council, please contact your student’s school.

The Sports Council and EUSD work collaboratively with representatives of local youth sports organizations to provide safe and well-maintained sports fields for youth soccer, baseball, softball, football and lacrosse.
