These committees advise the Newburgh School District Administration and Board of Education about how school buildings should be allocated. The meetings of these committees do not seem to be announced the way that public meetings should be according to New York State Open Meetings Law.

These committees discuss quite important matters. At the meeting on February 8 there was a "saying of yes or no" at which all the committee members save one supported the reconfiguration of grades so that the k-6 elementary schools would become k-5 and Heritage and South Junior would become 6-8 schools in the 2011-2012 school year.
