School Board

An Introduction to the Board

The Woods Charter School Company is governed by a Board of Directors. Each year the parents and teachers vote for board members, who serve two or three year terms on staggered cycles (see bylaws for specific details).  The seven elected, voting members of the Board are all parents. Other members of the Board are a teacher representative elected by the full-time staff, a student representative elected by the students, and the principal.  A "community" board member may, from time to time, be appointed by the Board; the community board member may or may not be a parent.  The Board sets policy and governs the school, while the principal manages the school on a day-to-day basis.

The WCS Board generally meets the third Thursday of each month.  The two exceptions this school year are the August board retreat (which is the fourth Thursday so as not to fall in the busy first week of school) and the June meeting (which is positioned so that we meet while school is still in session).
