Faith Community Christian School Board
We are Run by You, the Parent!

PURPOSE

The Faith Christian School board sets vision and policy for the school. The Board assures that the operations of the school are in harmony with the Constitution and the FCCS Association. The School Board consists of 7 elected members. Members are elected from the constituency for three-year terms with members eligible for a maximum of 2 consecutive terms. New members are then elected at the Annual Spring Meeting of the FCCS Association which usually takes place in May.

In addition, board members serve on a variety of committees. Other parents are needed and encouraged to serve on these committees.

COMMITTEE STRUCTURE

Board members serve on a variety of committees. Other parents are needed & encouraged to serve on these committees. The chair of each committee is responsible to decide on the skills and qualities needed for the committee and then to seek parents to fill those roles. The FCCS Board committees are as follows:
