Governance Board
Unlike traditional public schools, charter schools are governed by a not-for-profit board of directors, with legal responsibility to ensure that the school operations efficiently, effectively and in accordance with the school's charter, mission, vision and contracted performance goals. Like most nonprofits, charter schools need a board of directors to help them become fiscally sound, thriving and continually improving school that will be around for the long term. Community members and MCPASD staff did so in January of 2012.
