Advisory Committees
School and district advisory committees are one way to be involved in your child's education. Advisory committees are comprised of individuals bringing unique knowledge, skills, and experiences to share their opinions and perspectives, study issues, and develop recommendations that effectively guide PBVUSD toward meeting the needs of all students.
Consolidated Programs works with the following school-level and district-level advisory committees:
