Our school advisory board consists
of elected members who share more fully in decision-making
and policy. The purpose and responsibility of the school
board shall be:
- to review and approve the annual budget prepared
by the principal and to make recommendations regarding sources
of funding;
- to participate in an effective and constructive
process of reviewing the principal's performance;
- to act as the public relations arm of the local
school;
- to invite all parents to attend monthly school
board meetings whereby parents can articulate their concerns
and interests regarding the school.
By its nature, the local school board is advisory
and agrees to operate following the policies and procedures
set forth in the Leadership
Manual for School Advisory Boards. The
board is accountable to the pastor and to the
principal in its operation.
Members agree that they
will use their talents, gifts and insights for the common
good of the community to promote the mission and goals of
Catholic education. They will defer their personal agendas
in order to discern with other members the issues, concerns
and challenges they face in meeting the educational needs
of the students. Not only will they take seriously their
role as advisors to the pastor and principal, but also they
will accept the conditions of membership on the school board,
namely the Code of Ethics, which describes the parameters
of their collaboration and responsibility.
Board meetings are held on the
first Tuesday evening of the months September through June
at 7:30 PM in the Parish Center (7200 N Osceola). Agendas
and minutes from the meetings are available on the board's
web log. Parents and parishioners are also always welcome
to contact the school board directly
with any questions or concerns they have.
Guidelines
for all archdiocesan schools are developed by the Archdiocesan
School Board and administered by the superintendent of
schools. At the parish level it is the responsibility of
the principal to see that such guidelines are followed
in the parish school. Decisions for our school, then, are
made by the parents, the parish school advisory board,
the principal, faculty and staff, and the pastor, following
guidelines set forth by the Office
of Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Chicago.
