Community Campus

Residents of the Blaine County School District community are encouraged to apply to participate in the Instructional Materials Adoption Process. Up to two residents of the district will be selected to participate on each of the two committees.

In the 2014-15 school year, one committee will select instructional materials for Visual and Performing Arts and another committee will select instructional materials for Social Studies (Grades Pre-K thru 12). Residents serving on these taskforces must be willing to make a one-year commitment to monthly meetings and additional time for reading and research.
