OWLS School Committee

As soon as you can, organize an OWLS committee for your school. This group should be composed of, at minimum, two teachers, one administrator, one maintenance person, two students and one parent. The first business this committee should do is to select a project director. The project director will be in charge of sending the proposal to the OWLS coordinator when it is ready. The OWLS committee is the engine behind each OWLS area and will be the guiding organization for not only preparation of the OWLS proposal but also the soliciting of community involvement and support. For technical assistance, the OWLS committee should identify local natural resource professionals, such as the district biologist for KDWPT, the district conservationist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the county extension agent, and others.
