Board Committees

Board Committees and Membership
(as of the 2022-2023 school year)

Board policy BDB(LOCAL) Board Internal Organization – Internal Committees provides for the creation of internal committees to facilitate the efficient operation of the Board. Committees of the Board serve in a purely advisory role, with no power to take action or direct public business, which can only be done by a quorum of the Board at a public meeting. Committees are established by Board action and trustees are elected by their fellow Board members to serve on committees.

In addition to serving on internal Board committees, trustees also represent the Board on several District and community committees.

Audit Committee

  • Purpose: The purpose of the Board Audit Committee is to serve in an advisory role to review internal and external audit process and reports

Facilities Committee

  • Members: Doyle Corder, Alonzo Everhart, Dick Ford
  • Purpose: The purpose of the Board Facilities Committee is to assist the Board and Administration in evaluating current facility and property needs, creating an AISD facilities master plan, and proposing proper execution and funding sources for this plan. Further, the committee will continually evaluate facility and property needs and improvements.

Community and Governmental Affairs Committee

  • Members: Kimberly Anderson, David Nance
