Committees
The Members’ Council and the Board are supported by committees that are made up of members from the Board and the Council, and some committees have representation from the MCPS Board. The committees meet throughout the year and operate according to terms of reference and mandates that have been approved either by the Board for committees which report to the Board or the Council for those committees which report to the Council.
