Members of the GC are the trustees of the nonprofit organization
that runs PCCS. They delegate professional, day-to-day operations of the school
to the Management Team and to the staff, and oversee the financial health and
viability of the organization, and how well the organization is fulfilling its
vision and goals. They make the final decisions on hiring, firing, and renewal
of employment agreements.
GC members also serve an important role as school
benefactors- people who offer time, expertise, and other support, not as
employees, but as advocates of the school’s mission. They play a role in
communicating the school’s success to the community and, as civic leaders,
constantly seek sources of new funding as well as nonprofit and corporate
partnerships to benefit PCCS.
