Capital Programs Oversight Committee Seeks New Members 

SPS Capital Projects and Planning Department is seeking qualified individuals to apply for open terms on the Building Excellence (BEX) and Buildings, Technology and Academics (BTA) Capital Programs Oversight Committee.

The BEX/BTA Capital Program Oversight Committee:

• Oversees the planning and implementation of the capital levies and makes recommendations concerning progress of the BEX and BTA capital programs.
• Oversees the planning, prioritization and implementation of current and future BEX and BTA programs and make recommendations as to the identity, scope and priority of projects to be included in future BEX and BTA capital levies.
• Receives periodic briefings by SPS capital projects staff and is asked to monitor and comment upon the implementation of all approved projects and make recommendations for compliance with goals, priorities, scope, budget, schedule, revenue and other significant factors.

The committee meets in-person monthly on the second Friday of the month from 8:30-10:30 a.m., or more often as needed.

There are four seats available with four-year terms ending Aug. 30, 2029. Terms are staggered so membership seats are open for recruiting every two years.

Applications are due by Friday, August 1, 2025.

The BEX/BTA Oversight Committee supports the School Board and the district’s strategic plan “Seattle Excellence,” which centers students of color who are furthest away from educational justice. To advance that work, community members and groups who have not historically been included or represented in district decision-making processes — including women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ people — are encouraged to apply.
