District Committees

Central Valley School District is committed to ongoing family and community participation in our schools and school district. Communication is also a top priority. In order to support high levels of family and community involvement, a variety of district-level committees made up of community volunteers serving in an advisory capacity to district administration and the School Board.

Community-based committees currently addressing important school district issues:
