We are excited to share with you three opportunities to get involved with the district this school year and beyond!

District Instructional Materials Committee (DIMC)

Currently open to: Family Members

We’re looking for parent and guardian volunteers to join our District Instructional Materials Committee (DIMC) this year. This committee consists of teachers, administrators, students and family members, and helps review new instructional materials before they are sent to the School Board for approval. Your voice ensures that what we use in classrooms reflects the needs and diversity of our community.

If you are interested, please use this form to apply to serve on the committee. Applicants will be selected to represent a range of grade levels and schools throughout the district. The application closes October 9, and applicants will be notified October 10.

The DIMC reviews proposed basic and supplemental instructional materials submitted by teachers, curriculum teams, and administrators. While the committee does not directly select materials, it ensures that proposals meet the following criteria:

• Appropriateness for grade level and student developmental needs
• Ability to support diverse learning needs and abilities, including students with disabilities
• Fair and equitable representation of gender, age, racial, religious, ethnic, and cultural groups
• Encouragement of critical thinking, literary and aesthetic appreciation, and content knowledge

Recommendations from the DIMC are forwarded by the District Academic Officer to the School Board for final approval.

Meeting Details

• Dates: October 14, November 4, January 13, March 17, May 19
• Time: 4:00–5:30

Long-Range Facilities Planning Committee

Currently open to: Students, Staff, Family, and Community Members

The Long-Range Facilities Planning Committee will be charged with developing a comprehensive long-range plan for the next 15+ years, ensuring alignment with the District’s educational programs, demographic changes, and community needs, which may also inform future bonds for replacement of District buildings.

This work will inform plans for replacing school buildings, modernization schedules, and use of District-owned property and agreements with other municipalities.  

Data collection and preparations are underway to plan for the committee to convene in 2026. While the schedule is not yet determined, we are seeking interested applicants for this work. If interested, you may apply to be a member of the Long-Range Planning Committee.


Thank you to those who have and continue to engage in our district-wide work. Your contributions of time and talent are invaluable to the growth and direction of Shoreline Public Schools.
