School Advisory Board

By its nature, the board is advisory. It is accountable to the Pastor and to the Principal in its operation. It agrees to follow the policies and administrative procedures of the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Office of Catholic Schools. Members agree that they will use their talents, gifts and insights for the common good of the community to promote the mission and goals of Catholic education. They defer their personal agendas in order to discern with other members the issues, concerns and challenges they face in meeting the educational needs of the students.

Protocol for Visitors

School Advisory Board meetings, other than those held in executive session, are open to the public. Meetings are generally held on the first Tuesday of the month, begin at 6:30 p.m. and are held in the Rectory basement; check the monthly calendar for the most current information. A particular time is stipulated on agendas to allow visitors to address the board. It is understood that the issues raised will not be handled at the meeting. If appropriate to the parameters of the board’s responsibilities, the issue may be addressed at a future time. Ordinarily, the visitor’s comments are related to the matters considered on the agenda. Personnel issues and individual family or student’s needs are not discussed. Questions of a general nature, however, could be referred to the appropriate person (e.g. Pastor or Principal).

  • Visitors observe the board while it is in session. They do not engage in the discussions nor do they actively participate in the agenda either through comments or by offering their opinions on the topic being discussed.
  • Once the visitor is recognized (as stipulated on the agenda), the visitor has the opportunity to express an opinion on the matter of concern. Each individual may speak for 2-3 minutes on matters that concern the advisory board.
  • There is no discussion or debate between the visitors and members.
  • All members listen to the visitors. If necessary, either the president or someone designated by the president can assist in clarifying the question or topic.
  • The president thanks the visitors for their comments and informs them that someone will get back to them within a specified amount of time.
