Policies and Procedures

At a charter school, the Board of Directors and the Administration have very different roles. The primary role of the Board of Directors is to create policy in line with the school's charter and mission. The GFA Board of Directors is working diligently to prepare and approve policies to guide the Director and guard the vision of the school. The Director is responsible for developing procedures that reflect and interpret the Board's policies, and for ensuring efficient school operations. The Director leads the school community in building the sort of school culture that brings the vision to life.
