Get Involved: Join a North Kitsap School District Advisory Committee

The North Kitsap School District (NKSD) is a vibrant, active community that thrives because of the shared responsibility and participation of all its members. We believe that our community's diverse voices, when united, can create impactful change. One of the ways we seek to harness this collective wisdom is through our various advisory committees.

These advisory committees form an integral part of our district governance, providing recommendations to the superintendent and school board on a variety of crucial areas. Whether it's a matter of facilities, finance, or instructional materials, the input from our community members helps shape the decisions we make. In this article, we'll explain the role of these committees and how you can become involved.

What Are Advisory Committees?

Advisory committees consist of a diverse mix of staff, parents, and community members and are facilitated by district administrators. These committees work collaboratively to explore, analyze, and provide recommendations on a broad range of topics impacting our schools. The ultimate goal is to enhance the learning environment and ensure the highest level of educational excellence for all NKSD students.

There are two types of advisory committees: some are ongoing, tackling continuous issues within the district, while others are temporary, assembled to address a specific, time-bound purpose.

Members review facility needs, evaluate potential improvements, and guide strategic planning related to the district's physical assets.

  2. Citizen Finance Advisory Committee: The committee reviews and advises on matters related to the district's financial health. Topics might include budget development, resource allocation, and long-term financial planning.

  3. Instructional Materials Advisory Committee: This committee, which is exclusive to current NKSD parents, reviews and advises on the instructional materials used in classrooms. It ensures the quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness of the resources that directly impact student learning. Members of this committee are appointed by the school board.
