The board of trustees governs the Academy, legally a 501(c) (3) organization, in accordance with its by-laws, which delineate specific responsibilities and authority. It hires the Executive Director, who is responsible for
the daily operation of the Academy including hiring faculty and administrators, admissions, curriculum, class placement, communications, and discipline. The board spends considerable time and effort overseeing the school’s finances, i.e., authorizing fundraising activities and appropriating the monies that are raised. Several standing committees, each headed by a member of the board, assist in this effort: executive committee, board governance committee, building and grounds committee, finance committee, development committee, parent
involvement committee, and the development council. Other committees may be appointed as needed. In addition to standing committees, which often include faculty members or parent representation, the board from time to time creates ad hoc groups to study and make recommendations on certain issues. Teach One Academy & Learning Center's board of trustees is a working board, rather than one that exists for legal or ceremonial purposes only.
Here’s a quick look at some key board committees: The Finance Committee develops and presents to the board for approval, the yearly operating budget of the school and supervises expenditures within this budget,
as well as the financial aid and development budgets. In addition, the finance committee makes recommendations to the board regarding the financial policies of the school. It is a policy of the board to see that the Academy runs on a sound fiscal basis and avoids operating deficits; this policy has been adhered to for the 6 years the school has been in existence.
The Development Committee conducts capital campaigns for the Academy's long-term funding needs. It also has the responsibility for the Academy's annual funds. The Development Committee raises funds to provide financial assistance to students who might otherwise be unable to attend Teach One Academy & Learning Center and works to promote socio-economic diversity. It regularly calls on the entire Teach One Academy & Learning Center community for help. These fundraising activities are coordinated through the board of trustees, the school parent involvement effort, and Teach One Academy & Learning Center development
office. The Financial Aid Review Board awards financial aid to families who are enrolled or have been admitted to the Academy. The main criterion is economic need, but socioeconomic status and the age of the child are considered as well. No full tuition awards are given. All recipient families are asked to contribute
according to their means. Financial aid is awarded to faculty members’ children also on the basis of need.
