BEX/BTA Capital Programs Oversight Committee

The Building Excellence (BEX)/Buildings, Technology and Academics (BTA) Capital Programs Oversight Committee is a citizen oversight committee required by the Seattle School Board.

Committee Charge

Committee Responsibilities

The BEX/BTA Capital Program Oversight Committee oversees the planning and implementation of the capital levies and makes recommendations concerning progress of the BEX and BTA capital programs.

A separate advisory committee, the Information Technology Advisory Committee (ITAC) oversees the implementation of the identified technology projects included in either capital levy.

Two School Board Directors are members of the BEX/BTA Oversight committee, but no other district employees. The two School Board Directors are in addition to the 11 committee members.

The committee oversees the planning, prioritization, and implementation of current and future BEX and BTA programs and makes recommendations as to the identity, scope, and priority of projects to be included in future BEX and BTA capital levies.

The committee receives periodic briefings by district capital projects staff and is asked to monitor and comment upon the implementation of all approved projects and make recommendations for compliance with goals, priorities, scope, budget, schedule, revenue, and other significant factors. A separate committee oversees the implementation of the technology projects included in either capital levy. Read more on the committee charge.
