Committees & Advisory Groups

Much of the work accomplished in Bellingham Public Schools is the result of committees and task forces.  Membership consists of representatives from stakeholder groups. All do specific work at the direction of the superintendent.

Recommendations are advisory and the final decision-making authority varies depending on the type of group. Major decisions, minutes, and any report or recommendations resulting from committee and task force work are posted here. The following committees, task forces and groups are actively engaged in Bellingham Public Schools’ work priorities for the 2018-19 school year:
