SDCCS Board Meeting

School districts are governed by an elected school board. We are governed by the board of our not-for-profit corporation: The Theresa Hessling Charter School Project. In 2000, the THCSP received approval for our charter from the state of California through San Diego Unified School District, our chartering agency. The members of the board are pledged to uphold the charter. Members duties include fiscal oversight for SDCCS and contracting with administrative staff, including the principal. Most of our board members are parents. Members are appointed by the board after they submit and application to the bard membership committee. Our board members include two representatives of our teaching staff and a liaison from our parent staff association. Our principal, Dr. Wendy Ranck Buhr, also attends board meetings (thought not as a voting member). Our legal documents, including board bylaws, or charter, and board policies, can be found on our website under Board.

This Tuesday a board meeting will be held at school in the office. Meetings are open to the public and all parents are encouraged to attend at least once to see our governance process in action. I go to just about every board meeting just to stay in the know. I'll be there Tuesday at 5:30 if you would like to join me. Meetings last any where from two to three hours, but you can leave whenever you need to.

Hope to see you there!
