4. Committees and Task Forces

4.  Committees and Task Forces (Reference Policy 2.5)

4.1  Purpose
Committees are long-term work groups formed to do specialized work of the Board and make recommendations to the Board.  Task Forces are short-term versions of the same, serving similar purpose. Committees shall be chaired by a Trustee. Both Committees and Task Forces may be composed of Trustees and others as the Board sees fit. Committee membership terms are for one year, renewable. Task Force terms are for the duration of the Task Force unless otherwise determined by the Board. Committee and Task Force decisions are made by majority vote of the Committee.

Board Committees and Task Forces are guided by Board-approved Terms of Reference as described in Guidelines for Board Committees. 

[Note: in addition to Board Committees and Task Forces, the Director shall establish such additional school committees as s/he sees fit, and, at her/his discretion, may invite a Trustee participation serving on those bodies.]

4.2  Standing Committees
The EIS Board of Trustees maintains two standing “Committees,” whose purpose and performance are described in the EIS Governance Committee Terms of Reference and the EIS Finance Committee Terms of Reference, to be updated each year.
