School Board and Parent Teacher Group (PTG)

Saint Patrick School Board acts in an advisory capacity to the Pastor and Principal.  The local school board’s mission is to bring its wisdom, talent, experience, faith life, and good will into the process of providing quality education for all the children served by the school.  The local school board furnishes the support and leadership to carry out the Church’s commitment to Christian education.  Those who serve on Catholic school boards, both Diocesan and local school boards, support an environment for the teaching of the Catholic faith, the building and experiencing of community, the serving of others and the opportunity for worship.  They are called to model what they identify as the purpose of Catholic education.
            
The School Board is composed of the Pastor, Principal and up to twelve members selected through a discernment process.  The School Board responsibilities include:
 

• Advise the Pastor and Principal on finances, public relations, and other concerns.
• Advise in the development of school policies within the framework of Diocesan regulations.
• Reflect the views of school parents/parishioners by acting as a liaison group between parents and school.
• Help create a better understanding of Catholic Education in the parish and in the community.
• Plan with the Pastor and Principal for the school’s educational needs of the future.

 
The St. Patrick School Board members serve as selected representatives of the parent community for a three-year term.   Please check the monthly calendar for the School Board meeting date. They are held on the 2nd Monday of the month.  Parents are encouraged to attend and make suggestions and can earn up to 2 hours towards their participation hours.
