Advisory Council
On behalf of St. Cloud Area School District 742, we are always looking for members to serve on a future District 742 Community Education Advisory Council.
We are seeking a broad-based membership that best reflects our communities. We are also looking to this group to provide council on a number of important topics, issues and ideas.
One of our goals is to have a group of committed community members who agree to follow a set of meeting protocols and can attend meetings regularly.
The mission of the St. Cloud Community Education Advisory Council is to:
- Identify and assess community needs and interests within St. Cloud Area School District 742 relating to community education;
- Identify available and potential resources to meet community needs and interests;
- Help to avoid the duplication of community programs, services and activities;
- Provide input and feedback on the goals, objectives and development of the community education department;
- Provide input and feedback on the development of the annual community education budget, as well as monitor the general financial status of the department;
- Increase and improve communication between community education and residents, staff, organizations, agencies, businesses and schools within St. Cloud Area School District 742;
- Promote the community education philosophy of citizen involvement and lifelong learning to the residents, staff, organizations, agencies, businesses and schools within St. Cloud Area School District 742;
- Assist with the evaluation of the community education department as well as within specific program areas;
- Identify opportunities for Community Education Advisory Council members to further their knowledge of community education through participation and in-service training.
