School Commission
The
St. Joseph School Commission is now accepting applications for 3 year terms
ending in June 2013.
Click here for the application.
The overall purpose of
the school commission is to advise and support the pastor and principal in
the operation of the parish school. In the spirit of collaboration, the
selected commission members recognize the role and authority of the pastor
and the principal as his delegate. The pastor and principal respect the
authentic witness and expertise offered by the commission members. All
parties work collaboratively to build consensus.
The commission is consultative and is not a decision making body. Members
cannot act apart from the pastor and the principal and cannot address issues
or make decisions binding on the parish school without approval of the
principal and pastor. The pastor and principal will not make significant
decisions in functional areas listed below until and unless the school
commission has been consulted. When the commission meets as pastor,
principal, and commission members, and agrees on a policy matter, the
decision is effective and binding on all.
The areas in which the Commission has responsibility and will be consulted
are:
4
Planning
4
Policy Development and Formulation
4
School Finance
4
Development
4
Grant Writing
The
Commission does not have responsibility in the areas of curriculum and
personnel. Questions or issues in those areas should be taken directly to
the school administration.
The
commission is a diverse group that reflects the composition of the parish
and the school. The selected membership will consist of seven to eleven (7-11)
voting members. All attempts will be made to assemble a group that
adequately reflects the school population. The recommended representation is
as follows:
è
At least three (3) school parents that are members of St. Joseph parish.
è
At least one (1) school parent that is a member of Mary, Queen of Peace Parish.
è
At least one (1) school parent that is a member of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish.
è
Two (2) St. Joseph parishioners who are not school parents.
A
representative from the Parents’ Club shall attend all school commission
meetings as an ex-officio member as well as the principal and pastor or his
delegate.
