Governance
The SAMC Board of Trustees is committed to maintaining the best possible authentic Montessori education for the community we serve. Rather than becoming involved in administrative and operational details which are best handled by the Director, the Board is ideally positioned to look at the big picture and see the best path for achieving the goals and mission as outlined in the Charter Application. We welcome input from you, the community, to help maintain this vision and consistently remind us that what we do is vitally important to you.
The Board is charged with stewarding and strengthening Montessori programs and services, enhancing the school’s public standing, ensuring legal and ethical integrity and accountability, ensuring stable financial standing, recruiting and orienting new board members, and long-term strategic planning. Other responsibilities include selecting and collaborating with the Director to provide adequate and competent resources, ensuring and promoting effective organizational planning, and monitoring for the exceptional delivery of a quality Montessori program.
Board meetings are held typically on the last Wednesday of each month at 6:00 pm. Notice is sent through the Community email list and minutes are posted on this website.
NOTE: The July monthly board meeting has been rescheduled to July 20th due to scheduling restraints.
