Moscow School District #281: Committees

In the Moscow School District, several committees have been created by the Board of Trustees and/or the administration. The committees provide recommendations for action, advise the decision-makers, develop proposals and/or provide communications within the District. Some committees meet on a continuing basis while others are temporary and meet only for a limited amount of time. Administration, faculty, staff, students, parents, and community members at-large have representation on many committees.

In addition to the committees, there are support teams that provide assistance to students, faculty and administration. A primary mission of most support teams is to provide communications and advice to the staff and administration under specific circumstances. They also assist students and provide support for many school activities.
