Interviews for potential candidates will be conducted during the SC meeting on Monday, September 16. As a parent member on the Steering Committee, your job would be to govern the school as laid out by the Founding Document . “Their (Steering Committee members) overall task will be to make the broad decisions such as upholding, interpreting and clarifying the philosophy, approving new curriculum, maintaining relations and communications with the district and reacting to new laws or district policies, etc. The Steering Committee will be free to involve other people for input and advice in making decisions as it deems appropriate.” (FD 21) Parent members of the Steering Committee serve on curriculum, textbook and hiring committees, make decisions about school policies and school governance issues. For the 2019-2020 school year, a chief priority is ensuring the successful addition of sixth grade in the Fall of 2020. Qualified candidates should have a strong understanding and commitment to the D’Evelyn Founding Document. Candidates do not need to have prior educational experience, but must have a willingness to learn about our curriculum in order to make the decisions needed to govern the school. If you are looking for a way to give back and help ensure the continued success of D’Evelyn, please consider submitting your application. Comments are closed.
