School Advisory Board
The St. James Cathedral School Advisory Board is a consultative body to the school administration and pastor, acting on behalf of the school community. The SJCS School Advisory Board is governed by its own by-laws, ultimately accountable to the school administration and Pastor. It is ideal that the School Advisory Board consists of members that possess a wealth and variety of knowledge from professional fields. The board’s function and responsibilities include:
- Recommending policies for the operation of the school’s educational programs
- Providing insights, expertise, advise and feedback
- Promoting and supporting school policies
- Assisting in the development of long-range plans for the school’s facilities
- Creating, evaluating, and approving the school budget
The SJCS School Advisory Board, consisting of 10-12 persons, discerns new members each spring. SAB members also serve on a School Advisory Board sub-committee including finance, facilities, advancement and marketing, technology, and Catholic identity. Interested parties must contact the School Advisory Board President by April of each year to express their desire to become a part of the board. It is recommended that interested parties discuss the expectations for membership with the Board President or another board member. Discernment of nominees presented by the Board President is fulfilled at the late spring monthly meeting.
We welcome and encourage interested Panther parents to reach out to our board and apply to use your God-given gifts and talents to serve on one of the sub-committees. Please find details below.
