Senate Bill 732 was passed in the 2021 Legislative session requiring districts to establish an educational equity advisory committee. The bill outlines the responsibilities and makeup of the committee. For districts with an ADM over 10,000 the committee must convene no later than September 15, 2022. For districts with an ADM of 10,000 or less, the committee must convene no later than September 15, 2025. At least one member of the educational equity advisory committee needs to be appointed to the budget committee. This would happen when a position becomes open, it does not establish an additional budget committee member.
