Steering and Working Committees

  • About the Committees

    The 14 Future Planning Committees are composed of AACPS employees, students, parents, AACPS bargaining unit members, AACPS advisory group members, community organizations and community partners.  The Steering Committee and Chairs of the each of the committees are AACPS Senior Staff Members.

    The work these Future Planning Committees are challenged to accomplish is much more than work to simply reopen schools in the fall of 2020.  It is important work focused on designing a reopened school system where we truly live the three values in our strategic plan to purposefully meet the needs of ALL our students.
