LCA Board of Directors

Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ -1 Corinthians 11:1

 

The Board of Directors is the policy-making leadership of the school, entrusted with furthering the school's mission.  To that end, the Board creates and implements written policies, ensures financial strength, and supports and evaluates the head of school.

The Board of Directors consists of professionals throughout the community who represent six different churches.

Board Nomination

LCA Board of Directors Accepting Nominations

The Board of Directors is the governing body overseeing LCA. It is comprised of up to 15 members who meet on a monthly (or more frequent) basis to oversee the administration and business of the school. Board members also chair various committees necessary to the operation, function and mission of the school. Board members serve a three-year term and are eligible to serve two consecutive terms.

Earlier this school year, the Board of Directors revised the LCA Bylaws to allow for parents to nominate candidates for the Board. Candidates must have a strong Christian faith, a passion for the school, and a willingness to give of their time and talents to further the excellence of LCA. At least 75% of the Board must be comprised of current LCA parents.

If you have someone to nominate for consideration for the Board, please complete THIS FORM and submit it electronically, or separately submit to Brooke Otto, chair of the Nominating Committee. In considering appropriate candidates, please consider unique experience, background or skill sets that may be beneficial to the responsibilities and function of the Board.  Please submit nomination forms no later than March 1, 2021.

Nominated candidates will be contacted by the Nominating Committee and provided a Board application questionnaire to complete.  All applicants will be considered by the Nominating Committee and selected candidates will be interviewed and nominated for approval, as appropriate, by the Board.
