The Chelsea School District is seeking community members to serve on its Design Advisory Team (DAT), which will provide input and feedback as the district explores a potential 2027 bond proposal.
The DAT will help ensure that community perspectives are represented throughout the planning process. Members will work with the superintendent, district administrators, and Board of Education Bond Committee members to give feedback on possible bond projects. The district notes that the DAT is not a decision-making body.
Who Can Serve
Applicants must live in the district, have children attending Chelsea schools, or be employed by the district. Only one person per household may serve.
The district is looking for parents and guardians at each grade level, plus special education and preschool parents; two student representatives from Beach Middle School or Chelsea High School; representatives from the aquatics, drama/music, and athletics communities; an at-large community member; a small business owner in the district; and a city council representative and/or elected township trustee.
Time Commitment
Members are expected to attend all meetings in person, each from 6 to 8 p.m.:
- Dec. 8, in the Chelsea High School Media Center
- Jan. 5, and Tuesday, Jan. 19 (location TBD)
- Feb. 16 (location TBD)
- March 9 (location TBD)
Members also commit to two field trips to locations around the district in January and February. Between meetings, they’re expected to gather input from the stakeholder group they represent.
How to Apply
Submit a letter of interest to [email protected] by 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19. Letters should outline the applicant’s interest in serving, relevant qualifications, which stakeholder group(s) they would represent, how they meet the membership requirements, and how they plan to gather feedback from that group.
For full details, including membership requirements and expectations, see the Design Advisory Team candidate posting on the school district’s website.
