School Leadership Councils (SLC) are charged by the Diocese of Charlotte to aid the principal in the following ways:
- Advocacy: The school board is a voice for the school community.
- Advisory: The school board aids in the development of goals, objectives and the establishment of short and long-term goals.
- Evaluative: The school board evaluates the effectiveness of school operations and makes recommendations for improvements.
The SLC does not provide advice or aid in decisions made regarding personnel, parents or students individually. Diocesan policy specifically prohibits the board from being involved in the hiring or firing of professional staff, in dealing with cases involving student discipline, in authorizing capital expenditures in excess of $1,000, or in selecting textbooks or deciding other specifics of the educational program.
The SLC meets monthly, from September through June, at 6 pm in the OLG School library. Parents are welcome to attend school board meetings, but it is asked that visitors call the board president, the principal, or the pastor to notify them of their planned attendance. Also, visitors should understand that they are not voting members of the board and therefore, could be asked to leave during any voting matters or if any confidential matters should arise.
Parents interested in being on the SLC should notify a board member or the principal. New board members are elected at the end of each school year, serving for three years.
