The Redding School of the Arts Charter School will be a school under the umbrella organization Redding School of the Arts, Inc. the California Public Benefit Corporation pursuant to California law.  The school will be governed by the Redding School of the Arts, Inc. Governing Board, which consists of two parent representatives from the school elected by the Parent Teacher Council, one original founder who is not directly employed by Redding School of the Arts, and three to five community representatives.  All representatives will serve a two-year alternating term of office that coincides with the fiscal year.  Representatives may serve more than one term.  Selection criteria for choosing board members will include completion of an application, commitment to the school and readiness to accept responsibilities. Redding School of the Arts charter provides for one representative from the staff to serve as the non-voting liaison on the school’s Governing Board. The Governing Board will ensure that the Brown Act is followed to maintain transparency and compliance with state regulations.

 

This structure will support student success by incorporating representatives from key stakeholders in an important decision-making arena. The school will orient all new board members and will provide ongoing training needed to enhance the effectiveness of its members to make sound decisions.  Several of the school’s existing board members have attended workshops and conferences to develop and hone their charter school and governance knowledge and skill set.  This board will ensure the long-term stability of the school through participation of stakeholders, thereby fostering decisions more likely to meet the needs of stakeholder groups. Inclusion of members bringing needed expertise to the table will also strengthen the school as a viable enterprise.  The board will also ensure the success and long-term viability of the school by establishing key goals, regularly monitoring the school’s progress toward achieving the goals, and responding as appropriate.
