The City View Board of Directors consists of elected community members who serve three-year terms on a volunteer basis.

  • Strategic Planning: Developing long-term goals and maintaining City View Charter School's mission
  • Community Advocacy: Promoting City View Charter School and engaging with the local community

 

What does a Board member do?

 

  • Believes that ALL students can and will learn
  • Commits to serve a term of three years 
  • Prepares for and attends monthly public Board Meetings 
  • Actively participates in committees and work groups
