The Board of Education is seeking parents, teachers and community members to serve on one of five Construction Advisory Committees that will play a major role in deciding the appearance of new classroom additions and new schools around the district.

The committees will start meeting in January and finish work in about six to eight weeks.

In your letter, please include your name, address and telephone number and indicate the specific project that interests you. Also please indicate the membership category for which you are applying - parent, Denver resident or teacher.
