MONTGOMERY COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The following individuals have been appointed to serve on the Advisory Committee until June 30, 2026.
The Montgomery County Board of Education (“Board”) invites community members to apply for the Advisory Committee on Communication and Community Engagement (“Committee”), which serves in an advisory capacity and does not hold decision-making authority. The Committee plays a vital role in strengthening Montgomery County Public Schools’ and the Board’s communication and engagement with the community on key priorities identified each year.
For the 2026–2027 school year, the Committee will focus on the upcoming elementary boundary study and the development of a comprehensive communication and engagement plan. Members will collaborate closely with district leaders to help enhance transparency, foster meaningful dialogue, and support effective outreach across the community.
The Committee convenes at least four times annually, with additional meetings scheduled as needed. Members serve as volunteers for one-year terms. Natalie Zimmerman serves as the Committee’s standing Board representative.
We encourage interested and committed community members to apply.
Applications must be submitted by Friday, May 1, 2026 at 12:00 p.m.
----------
District 2 Board Member Natalie Zimmerman serves as Chair of the Advisory Committee, and the Co-Chair will be elected at the next Advisory Committee meeting.
The following individuals have been appointed to serve on the Advisory Committee until June 30, 2026.
On December 5, 2024 the Board of Education established a citizens advisory committee on communication and engagement. The Board sees an opportunity to strengthen community connections by creating a standing advisory committee focused on communications and engagement. Each year, the committee will address one key topic aimed at improving communication and engagement. This replaces the Communications and Stakeholder Engagement Committee established in 2019. The new advisory committee will include community members, allowing them to play an active role in the process. The vice president will serve as the Board's representative on the committee.
To establish a policy on committees designed to advise the Board of Education on specific issues
Citizen advisory committees are required by the Annotated Code of Maryland, Education Article §4-112, to ensure that local school boards will be informed by a variety of opinions from citizens and staff when considering specific issues, activities, and programs.
