Governing Board of Directors Roles and Responsibilities
​
The Governing Board of the Academy interprets educational policies, delegates administrative duties, and makes decisions on educational and budget matters. They ensure the Academy meets performance standards, conducts assessments, submits required reports, and manages funds judiciously. The Board does not handle daily operations, which are overseen by the Principal.
Board members, selected for their commitment and expertise, include educators, community members, business leaders, and parents, with a total of up to 11 members serving staggered terms for continuity. All members are fingerprinted as required.
The Principal, reporting to the Board, handles daily administration, staffing, and program evaluation. They must have experience in education, budgeting, planning, and implementing school programs.
