Who runs PCS?
The PCS board, which is composed of a minimum of three and a maximum of fifteen members, are responsible for governance of the school’s affairs, including developing and overseeing the budget, formulating overall school policy, supervising admissions and overseeing development and ongoing operation of PCS. PCS also has an advisory board, composed of people who are not members of the school. The advisory board provides expertise to the school, particularly in the areas of curriculum, human resources, communications and conflict resolution. Finally, PCS has an Executive Committee, composed of the teacher-administrator and two other individuals, one a member of the school, and the other a nonmember. The Executive Committee is responsible for hiring, evaluating and promoting the professional growth of PCS’s teachers. The Executive Committee also serves as a consultant group for the teachers and acts as a buffer and liaison between teachers and PCS members.
