Meetings
The full board meets every month beginning in August. Standing committees meet as needed. Special board meetings can be called by the pastor, principal or chairperson. If board meetings are attended by non-members, the board will go into executive session whenever the issues involve personnel or other confidential matters. The pastor or principal must be in attendance before executive session can take place. Advance notice should be given to parents when board meetings are to be held in executive session. The board reserves the right to go in to executive session if the matter is time sensitive. Six (6) members shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business in any special or regular meeting for a nine (9) member board.
All regular meetings of the School Board are open to any parishioner or parent to attend as an observer.
Any parishioner or parent wishing to bring a matter before the board should contact any board member ten days prior to the meeting to have the item put on the agenda. The pastor, principal and chairperson decide on the appropriate nature of the item to include on the agenda or direct elsewhere.
A Message from our Chairperson
Thank you for your interest in St. Athanasius Catholic School. We are very proud of our school and the
accomplishments of the current students and of our alumni. As Co-workers in faith, partners in
education, the pillars of our belief as a parish include fostering community; celebrating tradition;
discovering giftedness; embracing accountability; growing in the spirit. As a member of the School
Board we are responsible for policy matters not the administration or details of administration which
lies with the principal and pastor. We operate as a consultative body to assist the principal in achieving
the goals set out in our By-Laws and Long Range Plan. The Board executes is role through their
involvement on four committees which have been established to accomplish various objectives. The
committees include the following:
• Education
• Public Relations
• Alumni
• Parent Communication
The Board cannot complete the goals of each committee without the support of the parish and family
involvement. We are committed to the success of St. Athanasius, its faculty and students. We look
forward to serving St. Athanasius in positively achieving its goals. Let me know if you are interested in
becoming involved or if you have any questions.
Warmest regards,
School Board President
