The Citizen Advisory Committee is a channel for public concerns, advice and communication and, as requested, will make recommendations on topics and issues impacting Kent County Public Schools' educational programs and activities.
 
Two members of the Kent County Board of Education will facilitate the committee and preside as chairperson and vice-chairperson. Thirteen members are appointed to the Citizen Advisory Committee: two members from every school, two community members at-large and one high school student.
 
The committee is required to meet at a minimum four times per year. A quorum must be present to conduct meetings.
