Board of Directors
The Lupine Community Montessori Charter School is organized as a nonprofit organization under the laws of Oregon and under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
As such, the School is managed by a Board of Directors, which is responsible for strategic planning, school policy, financial oversight, ensuring the organization adheres to ethical and legal standards, and ensuring compliance with the Charter Agreement between the School and the Gresham-Barlow School District.
Additionally, the Board hires the Executive Director to develop the programs and carry out the School’s day-to-day operations. The Executive Director attends all Board meetings as an ex-officio member, reports on school operation and submits strategic recommendations.
Public Meetings
Board meeting dates and agendas are posted on the master School Calendar. Our parent community and the public are welcome to attend all meetings. All board activities are strictly subject to the State of Oregon’s open meeting and public records laws.
If you would like to request time to speak at an upcoming meeting or submit an item for review, please contact the Chair of the Board of Directors.
