Advisory committees established by the Chesterfield County School Board are one way community members can connect with the school division. Advisory committee members are appointed from each of the county’s five magisterial districts and include parents, teachers, staff members, students and other community members interested in helping Chesterfield County Public Schools achieve its vision of providing an engaging and relevant education that prepares every student to adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Members serve two- or three-year terms depending on the committee. A seat representing the Clover Hill District is open on the Special Education Advisory Committee. This committee is composed of parents, professionals and others appointed by the School Board for three-year terms. To be considered for this seat, applicants must reside in the Clover Hill magisterial district and have a child currently being served by the Special Education Department.
