The Board of Trustees has final legal and fiduciary responsibility for Ocean Charter School. It is the ultimate authority in deciding financial and policy issues, and it is responsible for ensuring that the school’s practices and educational outcomes are consistent with the approved charter petition. The Board is comprised of community members and parents.
Board meetings are open to the public and are typically held on the first Thursday of every month. Meeting times and locations are posted on the school’s website and bulletin board, as well as the OCS MailChimp Group. Individuals who wish to speak during open forum are limited to three minutes of speaking time. Due to public meeting laws, the Board cannot address issues raised during open forum unless they have been previously agendized for that meeting. To request placement of an item on the agenda, contact the Board’s Secretary or Chairman at least two weeks prior to the meeting. Please note that all agenda-related requests should pertain to the Board’s legal, fiduciary, or governing responsibilities.
