School Board Purpose and Function

The Consultative School Board is established to assist the Principal and ultimately the Pastor by providing advice and counsel, particularly in the following areas:
  • Strategic Planning: to assist in formulating strategic goals for the long-term direction of the school and to assist in formulating the school mission statement.
  • Policy Formulation: to provide advice and counsel with regard to policies in areas determined by the Pastors and Principal.
  • Evaluation of policies, plans, mission effectiveness and board self-evaluation.
  • Institutional Advancement/Development: to provide advice and counsel with regard to the establishment and maintenance of comprehensive programs of institutional advancement and to enhance the image, enrollment and financial viability of the school.
  • Communications: to provide advice and counsel with regard to communicating school policies and activities to the various school constituencies.
  • Lead marketing initiatives for the school (outside of PTO activities – but in coordination with the PTO as needed).

The Consultative School Board has no authority for formulating policies separate from the Pastors and Principal. The School Board does not have responsibility for determining the amount of parish funds given in support of the school and has no responsibility with regard to school staff/personnel or students.
