School Board FAQs
The most common questions can be found below.
If you don't find the answers you need, please contact
the office or utilize the Board email:
HOW CAN I CONTACT THE BOARD?
EMAIL THEM AT BOARD@MONROECHRISTIAN.ORG
Their individual contact info can be found in the directory. They want to hear from you!
WHEN ARE THE MEETINGS?
MEETINGS ARE HELD ON THE 3RD MONDAY OF EACH MONTH.
The minutes are available in the office, and a Board Report email will be sent home monthly.
CAN I ATTEND?
MEETINGS ARE CLOSED AT THIS TIME.
However, we share the goal of transparency and we are working on ways to include
more public comments and feedback.
HOW MANY MEMBERS CAN THE BOARD HAVE?
THE BOARD CAN HAVE BETWEEN 7-12 MEMBERS.
This is set by CSI's accreditation guidelines. Factors include existing group dynamics,
Society feedback, qualified nominees, and prayerful guidance.
HOW DOES SOMEONE BECOME A NOMINEE?
THEY ARE NOMINATED BY STAFF OR CURRENT LEADERSHIP.
Nominations are the result of consistent involvement and a demonstrated heart for leadership.
Contact a Board member to express your interest or to recommend someone else.
HOW LONG IS A TERM?
MEMBER TERMS LAST 3 YEARS.
A member can serve up to two consecutive terms if re-elected,
but that must be followed by a 1-year mandated break.
HOW LONG IS AN EXECUTIVE POSITION?
EXECUTIVE POSITIONS ARE HELD FOR 1 YEAR.
These roles are voted on internally. New members must serve one year prior to eligibility.
Members can be re-elected to the same executive position up to three times.
WHY DON'T WE HAVE ELECTIONS LIKE THE PUBLIC SCHOOS?
AT MCS, BOARD MEMBERSHIP IS NOT A POPULARITY CONTEST.
As a 501(C)(3), we are loyal first to the mission of keeping the school thriving and Christ-centered.
​
Our nominees are carefully vetted and prayed for, and much is required of them in both time and energy.
It's great to be connected, but we want someone who is answering a calling - not winning a contest.
If you're interested or would like to recommend someone, reach out to a Board member or teacher
and talk about your desire to be involved. They'd love to talk to you!
