School Board

The School Board meets the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm in the High School Conference Room.  Parents are invited to attend.

The CCS School Board functions under the Carver Model. The Carver Model of board governance is a model that is designed to empower our board of directors allowing them to focus on “how we want students to look” (Ends) when they graduate from CCS. This model also allows the board to write, review and validate clear written board policy (Executive Limitations) that gives clear direction to our head administrator, which is the only employee the board seeks and hires.

Annually, the board and head administrator determine what “ends” are the most important at that particular time. The board then directs the head administrator to accomplish those “ends.”  It is the head administrator’s job to develop the strategy (Means) for accomplishing those “ends” without violating any of the “executive limitations” given by the board of directors. When violations occur, the board can demand immediate correction or set a time line for the head administrator to make corrections for that particular policy.

The board validates the head administrator’s compliance with our policies through various means of direct inspection.
Examples of direct inspection:

  • Full audit of financials by outside auditor.
  • Inspection of staff files for annual performance reviews.
  • Annual survey by the board to insure staff is being treated as outlined in policy.
  • Survey of staff and parents that decide to discontinue their association with CCS.
  • The board operates under the guidelines set forth in our Board Policy Manual.
