BRIEFLY IN EDUCATION

The Newport-Mesa Unified School District is seeking applicants for

vacancies on its 14-member Citizens Budget Advisory Committee.

The advisory committee was created in 1992 to better educate and

involve the community in the school district’s budget process. The

two-year committee term includes a minimum of six meetings each year.

Members also serve on subcommittees, which are formed as necessary.

Applicants must live within the boundaries of the Newport-Mesa Unified

School District. Interested residents should send a letter to Supt.

Robert Barbot at 2985 Bear St., Costa Mesa 92626. Letters should include

the applicant’s qualifications and reasons for seeking the position.

The deadline for applications is 4 p.m. Dec. 5. The school board is

expected to make appointments Dec. 12.
