LCA Westshore Board of Directors
Who are we?
The board of Directors at Lighthouse Christian Academy consists of 7 to 10 persons elected by the Society. It, in turn, elects officers who serve as chair, vice chair, treasurer, secretary, and various other standing committee functions.
The board acts as the guardian of the vision and mission of the school society. Through the Administrator (Principal), they ensure the school’s day-to-day plans and activities fulfill the school’s mission and vision. Each board member serves a term of office for three years and may be reelected for one additional term. The school board’s duties include:
- Determining the long-term strategic direction and priorities of the school
- Overseeing school policies
- Appointing and supervising the Administrator
- Ensuring the short-term and long-term financial sustainability of the school
- Advancing the cause of Christian education
The school board’s duties do not include day-to-day operations of the school. Nor is the Board responsible for employee recruitment, management, or termination other than that of the Administrator. These needs are better addressed by contacting the student’s teacher or principal directly.
Our Governance Committee (a standing committee of the board) is charged with finding suitable candidates to fill vacancies on the board as they arise. They seek out committed Christians with specific gifts and abilities to maintain a diverse group of leaders who work together to guard the mission and vision of Lighthouse Christian Academy, and who at all times have the best interests of the school community in mind.
