Board Committees:

To support the school leadership team and engage key stakeholders in the ongoing continuous improvement of the school, the Agamim Classical Academy Board of Directors will establish a committee structure to include three official board committees and three advisory committees.

Academic Excellence

Committee Charge: The school exists to provide excellent educational experiences and outcomes for students. This committee monitors student performance against rigorous academic goals and raises strategic issues for board discussion.*

Development

Committee Charge: This committee drives the board’s vital fundraising activities. Members work closely with school administrators to engage the board in regular and effective fundraising activities for the school.*

Finance

Committee Charge: This committee oversees the creation of the school’s budget and asset management, approves short- and long-term financial goals for the academy, recommends and monitors a budget aligned with strategic priorities, ensures compliance with official policies, and raises financial concerns and solutions to safeguard the school’s resources.*

Governance

 

Committee Charge: This committee is responsible for maintaining proper board composition, ensuring the board governs effectively, driving a comprehensive board self-assessment process, developing new and existing board members, managing member recruitment and elections, nominating candidates for officer positions.*

Taskforce: Wellness/Safety

 

Taskforce Charge: The Wellness Safety taskforce is a group of school staff, leaders, families, and community members responsible for developing and monitoring safety and health/wellness goals and activities for the school. This group meets three times per year to discuss wellness topics and three to four times per year to discuss safety matters.

Subcommittees

 

  • Policy Subcommittee (Governance) - Committee Charge: This subcommittee oversees the creation, review, and revision of the school’s policies.*

  • Executive Subcommittee (Governance) - Committee Charge: This subcommittee may act on behalf of the board on urgent issues between board meetings. The subcommittee may speak to and for the board but reports to the board each month like all committees. This subcommittee conducts the review of the school leader each year.*
