Board Committee Meetings

Standing Committees

The Board of Education’s bylaws allows the creation of standing committees composed of board members and non-board members, as the board deems appropriate and with functions, duties, rights, powers and authority as the board prescribes. The board president appoints all members to serve on standing committees.

• Charter School Standing Committee - The Charter School Standing Committee serves as a technical review panel of members with charter school experience and/or expertise to score the application package using the evaluation criteria.
• College Partnership Laboratory Schools Committee - is responsible for developing procedures for receiving, reviewing and ruling on applications from Virginia colleges and universities to establish laboratory schools.
• Committee on the Standards of Quality - makes recommendations to the full board on revising the Standards of Quality. Virginia's constitution requires the board to determine and prescribe standards of quality for the public schools of Virginia, subject to revision only by the General Assembly.
