SPS Building Excellence (BEX) oversight committee seeks community volunteers
The Seattle School Board is seeking four community volunteers to serve on the Building Excellence Oversight Committee, for terms of up to four years. The unpaid 9-member Committee provides advice to the School Board on the District's major capital construction program. The Committee meets monthly and provides advice on planning, construction and related activities, to assure wise capital investments by the District. Members should have familiarity with large capital program activities such as planning, budgeting, cost estimating and controls, and organization and management of public agency capital programs as well as knowledge of leading edge sustainable building practices and conservation techniques. The District seeks individuals with experience as school district capital planners and managers, architects, construction managers, attorneys, contractors and subcontractors, parents and others as appropriate.
