SCHOOL BOARD 

The School of the Cathedral is an expression of the education mission of the Cathedral Parish, with which it is associated, and of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Therefore, the Rector is responsible to the Archbishop for the administration of the total Parish, including the Parish School. The Principal functions as the chief administrator of the School and is a member of the Parish staff. Regular and open communication with the Rector and the Principal is essential.

The overriding responsibility of the School Board is to ensure that the assets and programs of the school are used to promote and strengthen the school and parish community. The Board is advisory in nature, which means that it is responsible for making recommendations to the Rector and the Principal in the area of finances, building and grounds, and other aspects of corporate management. Board members are expected to perform their duties in good faith, in a manner they believe to be in the best interest of the school and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

The School Board consists of members with a variety of expertise and experience, from within and outside the school community, in accordance with "The Manual for Elementary School Boards in the Archdiocese of Baltimore" (Summer 2004). School Board meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month September through May at 8:00 a.m. in the Parish Center. Requests to address the Board must be made in writing to the Chairperson stating the reason at least two weeks ahead of time.
