The purpose of the Superintendent's Advisory council is to share meaningful conversations, receive candid feedback, and solicit the council’s insights and ideas as liaisons for the Andover community.  Meeting on a consistent basis will promote a positive impact on the educational experience and serve the best interests for all APS students. 

The council consists of 25 members from the Andover community. Members on the council will serve in an advisory capacity for two (2) years. 

We are pleased to announce the new Andover Public Schools FY26 Budget Advisory Council. Created at the conclusion of the 2023-24 school year, the FY26 Budget Advisory Council consists of APS staff members, APS parents/guardians and members of the Andover community. 

The role of the ad-hoc advisory council is to provide non-binding consultation to the superintendent and her administrative team during the FY26 school department budget process. 

The purpose of the council is to facilitate productive conversations and to identify community priorities in developing a balanced FY26 budget with transparency and in partnership with key stakeholders. 

Planning for future years' budgets begins each fall, and we will share information with the community as the council continues its work and throughout the FY26 Budget process.
