[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ Parents have zero role in a charter school’s board member selection process. You can suggest someone to the Board chair, but they are under no obligation to give your ideas any consideration. [/quote] I know for a fact that SSMA is required by the American Montessori Society to meet basic board governance criteria to remain an accredited school. And that specifically means 1. No board member may serve more than two consecutive terms. There is at least one who has done so. 2. The board must develop a succession plan for when key staff departs 3. The governance committee must consult with the PTO to select new board members The SSMA board is not fulfilling its role as an accredited Montessori institution in terms of governance if it does not follow this process. And that accreditation can be revoked. [/quote] Montessori accreditation is not needed for them to operate. [/quote]
