School Council

President

Chris Becker

 

     St. Mary’s School Council shall serve in an advisory capacity for the school educational programs in cooperation with the pastor and the school principal. The School Council exists to further the teaching mission of the Church by promoting whatever forms of Christian education will serve the needs of the community. It will follow the policies and regulations of the Diocesan Board of Education and implement them at the local level.

 

School Council members shall assist the pastor and principal for the consideration of general policy matters relating to St. Mary’s School. The local school council shall strive to support, strengthen and assure the future of St. Mary’s School. Policy establishes a course or plan of action and the implementation follows. It is the role of the school principal to implement the policy.

 

“…the pastor under the Bishop is personally responsible for the administration of the parish. The vote of the school council, like that of the parish council, is in the last analysis advisory. This is to say that the pastor may for pastoral reasons veto board action. Such an action, however, would seem to be unusual in occurrence, for the presumption in creating a parish school council is of the trust placed in them…”
