The PPCA Governing Board is the governing body of the school and ultimately responsible for monitoring and reporting the financial and educational success of the school. The Governing Board is responsible for ensuring the Charter is implemented as submitted to and approved by the Polk County Public Schools. The Governing Board delegates all day-to-day operational responsibilities to the school’s principal.
The Governing Board consists of an elected group of parents and community members who are responsible for the school’s operations. Board members are required to successfully complete a 4-hour new member board training and a 2-hour refresher training upon additional board terms of service. Board members serve three-year terms and may be re-elected by the board to serve additional terms.
Parents who have educational, operational or managerial concerns should contact the appropriate personnel in the school. However, in the event there are unresolved issues with the administration, parents may contact the Board Chair, Henry Manson. If a parent requests an item to be placed on the board meeting agenda, a written request with a detailed explanation must be submitted to the principal of the school at least two weeks prior to the scheduled meeting.
Governing board meetings are tentatively scheduled for the second Monday of specified months at 6:00 P.M. The annual meeting in June will begin at 5:30 P.M. The annual Audit Committee meeting is held at 5:00 P.M. prior to the annual meeting.
Meetings of the Governing Board are open to the public and comply with the Sunshine Laws of the State of Florida
Training is provided by Florida Charter School Governance Training found at http://www.charterschooltraining.com/.
This training is delivered through an online webinar with audio and video. You can complete the training on your time, on your schedule and from the comfort of anywhere you have a computer with internet access.
