The Sycamore Advisory Commission was established by the Sycamore Board of Education. Its purpose is to support the Board of Education, the school district administrative staff, and the school district in general. This is done primarily through research projects on topics determined by the administration and the Board of Education and also by serving as a communications link among the Board of Education, school district administration, parent and staff organizations, and residents of the district. To this end, members of the Sycamore Advisory Commission are kept up-to-date on Sycamore programs and activities and provide feedback from the community and member organizations to the Board and administration.Sycamore Advisory Commission members represent area civic organizations, government entities, parent-teacher organizations, the Sycamore student body, Sycamore teaching staff and the community at large.
The Sycamore Advisory Commission has been in existence for more than 50 years. Until 2013, it was known as the Sycamore Planning Commission.
The role of a member is to:
- support the mission and goals of Sycamore Community Schools;
- be an informed advocate for the district;
- attend SAC meetings
- notify the Chairperson or Secretary in advance if an absence will occur, and may arrange for a non-voting alternate to attend the regularly scheduled meeting
- serve and actively participate on one or more committees annually;
- facilitate general communication among the community and the BOE and administration;
- suggest needs, concerns, or topics for possible study or programs; and
- if representing a PTO or a civic/community organization, provide regular updates on the organization’s goals and activities.
The Advisory Commission meets on the second Monday of each month, from September through May, at 7:30 p.m. at the Sycamore Board of Education Office.
