Special committees may be created for specific purposes or to investigate special issues. A special committee shall be automatically dissolved after presenting its final report to the Board or at the Board's discretion.

Standing committees are created for indefinite terms, to fulfill continuing District needs for investigation and monitoring of specific issues and serve in an advisory capacity. A Standing Committee is not an ad hoc or special committee. Standing committees are:

1. Parent-Teacher Advisory Committee. This committee assists in the development of student discipline policy and procedure. Its members are parents/guardians and teachers, and may include persons whose expertise or experience is needed. The committee reviews such issues as administering medication in the schools, reciprocal reporting between the School District and local law enforcement agencies regarding criminal offenses committed by students, student discipline, disruptive classroom behavior, school bus safety procedures, and the dissemination of student conduct information.
   
2. Behavioral Interventions Committee. This committee develops, implements, and monitors procedures for using behavioral interventions in accordance with Board policy 7:230, Misconduct by Students with Disabilities. The committee reports and makes recommendations to the Board of Education.
   
3. Long Range Planning Committee. The District Development Committee is an advisory committee with responsibilities outlined by Board resolution.
   
4. Finance Committee. The Finance committee is an advisory committee with responsibilities that are outlined by Board resolution.

Nothing in this policy limits the authority of the Superintendent or designee to create and use committees that report to him or her or to other staff members.
