Pursuant to School Board Policy 2:150, the Board of Education may establish committees to assist with the Board’s governance function and, in some situations, to comply with state law requirements. Each committee reports directly to the Board of Education. Committee members may include both Board Members and non-Board Members depending on the committee’s purpose. Committee appointments are made at the organization meeting of the Board that is held following the consolidated election in April of odd-numbered years. Committee meetings are typically held once per month. 

The purpose of the Facilities Committee is to review facility work across the district, provide guidance on strategic facility initiatives, and ensure community involvement in the district’s facilities processes.

Hough Street School is a place where people truly care about one another. Every day is a chance to learn and grow together. My favorite moments are the laughter in the hallways, the learning in the classrooms, and the joy of being surrounded by people who love being here." George VlasisTeacher
