  • Community Representatives: persons who represent an agency or business that provides private funding for ECE or out of school time services or who advocate for these services through participation in civic or community based organizations, but are not providers and do not represent agencies that contract with CDE-EESD to provide child care and development services

Members at discretion of Board or Superintendent: persons from any of the above categories or outside of these categories at the discretion of the appointing agencies
