Community Financial Advisory Committee (CFAC)
The Mill Valley School District is reestablishing our Community Financial Advisory Committee (CFAC) — and we invite community members to apply.
We have had a CFAC in the past, and we are now bringing this important element back into our financial planning strategy to help guide the long-term financial health of the District.
CFAC advises the Superintendent by reviewing budget trends, analyzing financial data, and supporting community understanding of school funding and sustainability.
We’re seeking Mill Valley residents and registered voters with experience or interest in finance, budgeting, policy, or financial planning who are willing to serve a two-year term. Meetings are held approximately once per month.
This is a meaningful opportunity to lend your expertise and help ensure a strong financial future for our schools and students.
For more information please email communications@mvschools.org
The role of the CFAC is to advise on matters that affect the long-term financial and therefore educational, health of the School District. In this capacity, the Committee will:
- Review the Mill Valley School District’s budget on a periodic basis, to identify and analyze important long-term financial trends and issues for Board focus (e.g. Enrollment trends, facilities cost and use, reserve requirements, dependence on local taxes).
- Collect, review and analyze important financial data, trends, community perceptions and “best practices” that may improve the Superintendent’s decision-making in the financial arena.
- Provide information and recommendations to the Superintendent, in a timely manner, which relate to financial decisions before the Superintendent.
- Contribute to District communications/outreach efforts aimed at educating the community on financial matters (e.g. newsletters, speaking engagements to community groups).
