About the Governance Board
Because we are a public charter school, we operate under an established set of bylaws and are led by an independent Governing Council of community leaders, professionals, parents, business innovators, and educators. This group of dedicated people help make decisions related to curriculum and management of charter-raised funds. We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 5:15. These meetings are open to the public. Meetings are held in the Multi-Purpose Room. If you are interested in serving on the Park Community Charter School Board please contact Jesse Michalski at michalskij@kaukaunasd.org.
