about the board
The Montessori Academy is governed by a volunteer Board
of Trustees. As a tax-exempt (non-profit) organization, the collective obligation of the
Board is to uphold the mission. The Board's primary functions are to set general policies,
finance the school, and plan for its future. All implementation, overseeing of day to day
operations, personnel matters, and relationships with constituents are the responsibility
of the Head of School and the school's administrative team. The Board relies upon the
administration to hear and adjudicate any grievances according to the policies found in
the Employee and Parent manuals.
Board meetings are open (with the understanding that non-board members may attend and observe; and the understanding that the board will close meetings in executive session when discussing confidential matters). Meetings are usually held in the Junior High classroom at 7:00 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month. Minutes and agendas of each Board meeting are available in the school library for review. If you plan to attend a meeting, please confirm its time and location with the receptionist, as they are both subject to change.
