School Board committees are open to the public for observation, by attending in person or through a published Zoom link. Information on how to connect remotely can be found on the School Board calendar and on committee agendas. Meetings are held at the ASD Education Center, located at 5530 E. Northern Lights Blvd, in the School Board Conference Room unless noted otherwise.

Each year the School Board reorganizes, typically in May, and members sign up to serve on the three standing School Board committees: Finance, Governance, and Communications. The President assigns the chair of the committee and serves as an ex-officio member of all committees.

Note: School Board President serves as ex-officio member on all standing committees
