School Board Positions Open
School Board Openings
The School Board is now seeking volunteers and nominations for the open Voting Member positions for the upcoming 2022-23 school year. We are seeking individuals to fill the following two positions.
Policy Chair
The policy committee evaluates existing policies in the areas of Community Relations, Administration, Personnel, Students & Instruction and Business & Non-Instructional Operations. It also formulates any policy additions or changes needing to be addressed immediately. This is a great committee if you like rules or have experience in human resources, public relations, real estate, education, finance and law.
Development, PR & Marketing
The development, PR and marketing committee develops marketing strategy and assists with marketing activities. It cultivates relationships with school parents, parish members and alumni in terms of creating goodwill. This is a great committee if you are creative, enjoy event planning or social media. Experience in public relations, marketing, communications and development is also helpful.
If you would like to volunteer for an open position or submit a nomination, please email Aaron Giust, School Board Secretary, at
schoolboard-secretary@stalbert.org your first and last name (or nominee's name) along with a contact number and email address by Friday, March 4, 2022.
All volunteers and nominees are required to meet with current School Board members for a Discernment Meeting the afternoon of March 6, 2022, to learn more about the Board and the responsibilities of Voting Members. The session will be held online and will last about 30 minutes. Only interested parties will receive the meeting invite. If you have a conflict but are still interested, then please email Aaron Giust, School Board Secretary, at schoolboard-secretary@stalbert.org. Thank you!
