The Davis School Board has signed off on a new minority committee. The panel will advise the district in approaching the achievement gap, and serve as a liaison between the district and school communities to identify problems and develop recommendations for action.
The new group will be modeled after the state's Coalition of Minorities Advisory Committee, which advises the State Board of Education, and will have two representatives from each of the five major minority groups.
The district is accepting applications for posts on the committee. Representatives will serve two-year terms. For information, contact Jackie Thompson at 801-402-5319.
