St. Mary's School
Advisory Board

 


The concept of the school advisory board is based on a belief in the importance and power of shared leadership.  Parents, faculty, administration and the entire community work together to set direction and determine policy in accordance with the mission of the school and the policies of the Board of Education of the Archdiocese of Washington.

The Board is comprised of elected and appointed members at the discretion and approval of the pastor.

The first and foremost function of the advisory board is to provide advice and assistance to the administrative team (Pastor and Principal) in the development of policy.

By "advisory" is meant that board members offer their experience and expertise to strengthen the decision making process.  This assistance is provided through the function of the following committees: planning, policy development, finance, public relations/marketing, development/ fund-raising, and evaluation.

It is through the work of these committees, that decisions are reached, direction is set and policy is developed.  The Board is advisory only, all final decisions are made are made by the administration team (Principal and Pastor). For more information about the School Board or if you have any concern that you would like to have addressed by the Board, please contact any one of the elected members.  Additional information regarding the School Board can also be found in the Parent Handbook.
