Media Committee

The purpose of the media committee is to make decisions and recommendations about how the media center can best support the curriculum and learning efforts of the students at Jackson High School. The committee will ideally be composed of two teachers, the media specialist, the instructional coach, a community member, and a parent. This committee meets 2-3 times a year unless a book has been challenged or another need arises.
