Volunteers needed for Kent School District Board-approved Fiscal Recovery Task Force

The Kent School District School Board is looking to establish a Fiscal Recovery Task Force.

The task force will be created from interested stakeholders who have legal, financial and/or auditing experience. The task force is not applicable for students.

The task force will meet on a regular basis to advise the KSD Board on matters that affect the fiscal solvency of the school district. In addition to attending two regular monthly board meetings, the task force is expected to meet once or twice per month, with the schedule to be determined by the task force chair and vice chair.

Members on the task force serve two-to-three-year terms.

An action plan detailing the task force roles and responsibilities; its scope of authority; committee composition; application process; and meetings and procedures are highlighted on the KSD website. Applications are online and will be accepted until 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 26.

“For the first time in recent district history, the KSD Board has initiated a citizens’ committee to provide advice to the board and our stakeholders,” said KSD Board President Maya Vengadasalam. “We are searching for skilled professionals who have an understanding of school finances to strategically collaborate with our district and advise the board on matters that impact our fiscal solvency.”
