Board of Education
Board of Education
Crosslake Community Schools is a public charter school governed by a Board of Education. As a charter school, CCS is overseen by our own school-level board rather than a traditional school district board. The Board provides governance and accountability for our mission, finances, policies, academic performance, environmental education commitments, and long-term direction.
Our board includes 8 directors serving in the roles of Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, and Director. Regular Board of Education meetings are generally held monthly at Crosslake Community School, with meeting information, agendas, minutes, recordings, and related documents available on this page.
If you have an item for the Regular Board of Education public comment period, please email Board of Education Chair with your name and topic on the Friday before the Board Meeting. You may appear in person before the Board or virtually via the Google Meet.
Public comments will only take place during the Public Comment agenda item. No public comments will be accepted following the Public Comment agenda item.
Please note: This virtual meeting allows audio and other information sent during the session to be recorded, which may be discoverable in a legal matter. By joining this meeting, you automatically consent to such recordings. If you do not consent to being recorded, discuss your concerns with the host or do not join the session.
