Committee Makeup

The first step in conducting a merger study is to form a Merger Study Committee. The makeup of this committee is entirely up to the participating districts.

The committee will consist of the following representatives from each district:

• 6 community members

• 4 teachers

• 2 staff members

• 1 administrator

What the committee will do?

The committee is at the heart of the merger study process. Together, committee members will work with consultants from Castallo & Silky to consider topics such as:

• Academic and extracurricular programming

• Staffing

• Facilities & transportation

• Calculating potential savings

• Financial impact of merger

Committee members are expected to:

• Attend all committee meetings (see schedule below).

• Freely express points of view.

• Be a key communicator with others in the community.

• Be respectful of the committee and the study process.

• Be a positive contributing member in any other committee activities.
