Enrollment Demographics Advisory Committee

In 2001, the School Board directed the creation of an advisory group to evaluate enrollment across the district and provide the Board with recommendations. The Enrollment Demographics Advisory Committee (EDAC) was previously called the Enrollment Demographics Task Force, and it was created under School Board Policy 9400. EDAC studies demographics trends in the Northshore School District and determines these trends' likely impact on schools. Additionally, the EDAC studies the size of the student body from year to year and assesses the district's ability to offer equitable programs and services to all students in all schools.
 

Task Force Responsibility 

To provide continuous review and planning to make the most efficient use of existing sites and maximize educational opportunities for all students.

Meeting Schedule

The committee typically meets once a month from September to May, with the option for additional meetings through June if necessary. Meetings are held from 5:00-7:00 p.m, some virtually and some in-person, scheduled throughout the year. Additional meetings may be scheduled on an as-needed basis.

Task force meetings are open to the public. Visitors are welcome to attend, and their interest in the process and roles as observers are appreciated. Please read the Visitor Protocol guidelines prior to attending. The EDTF is a working task force whose recommendations are given to the School Board, cabinet or others to inform decisions involving the work of the school district.

Advisory Committee Membership

There are 14 people on the EDAC, plus ex-officio members and two consultants. Each of the district's four high school feeder patterns—Bothell, Woodinville, Inglemoor and North Creek— are represented. The parent/community member positions are voluntary, appointed by the Board of Directors and last for up to three years.
