The Steamboat Springs Education Fund Board is accepting applications for two open positions.

Board members are responsible for helping award grants from Steamboat Springs’ half-cent sales and use tax. Grant recipients are primarily public schools in Routt County, but can include nonprofits whose missions directly benefit public school students through school-based programming.

Board members are also tasked with reviewing accountability reports to ensure taxpayer dollars are being spent as granted and are being used to enhance academic accomplishment. The primary duties of the board are oversight, the review of grant applications, accountability and the distribution of the funds.

Applicants must live in Routt County, but are not required to have children in any public school. Board members are asked to commit to three-year terms and attend six to eight meetings per year.

These are volunteer positions. There is no fundraising requirement or expectation of financial contribution. There is no age minimum or maximum.
