Board Committees
When specifically charged to do so by the board, committees of board members may conduct
studies, make recommendations, and act in an advisory capacity, but shall not take action on behalf
of the board.
Members shall be appointed by the president. The president and superintendent shall serve as exofficio members on all committees.
The board may appoint ad hoc and/or standing committees. The duties of the committee shall be
outlined at the same time of appointment and the committee shall serve at the pleasure of the
board. No such committee assignment shall extend beyond the annual reorganization meeting.
An ad hoc committee of board members may be appointed to study a specific topic or represent the
board in a specific assignment. Such committees are not to be confused with standing committees
which have a continuous, ongoing assignment.
The president may appoint as soon after the organization meeting as practicable members of the
board to the following standing committees, where they shall serve a term of one year:
a.
b.
c.
d.

Each standing committee shall be convened by a chairperson, who shall report for the committee
and be appointed by the president.
The president shall also annually appoint representatives to the Intermediate Unit Board and the
North Montco Technical Career Center Joint Operating Committee.
The board may also establish community advisory committees and/or a community task force to
study a particular issue. Such committees may consist of board members, district employees and
members of the North Penn community. Committee members shall be appointed by the president
with advice from the board.
