As the school’s governing body, the Schaefer board is responsible for the academic, financial and operational quality of the school. Given the governance structure, the board is integral to the proper oversight of schools.
The Board of Directors for Bronzeville Academy is comprised of professionals with extensive years of experience in nonprofit and educational experience. Bronzeville Academy is always looking for qualified and committed individuals for Board expansion. The role of a charter school board member is to provide strategic vision for the school, hire leaders to run the school, hold those leaders accountable for academic success.
Board meeting and committee meetings will be held at the same meeting. There are no committees.
Board meetings will be held on the second Monday of each month.
Meetings are regularly held in person at Bronzeville Academy Charter School, 4930 S Cottage Grove. There's also regularly a remote option to attend the media via Zoom.
