School Advisory Board
Catholic school advisory boards serve to support Catholic educators in offering strong academic and faith-based programs for students. While their role is strictly advisory, they provide guidance to the superintendent and principal at the diocesan level.
The Newark Catholic High School Advisory Board includes the pastors of the feeder school parishes whose students attend the high school, along with appointed members as defined by the bylaws. The principal serves as the board’s executive secretary, while the superintendent represents the bishop on all high school advisory boards.
The NC advisory board strives to perform all of the following roles in support to the mission of the school:
- Advise: in areas in which the principal requests advice, feedback, and information.
- Policymaking: assist in the development of local policies and procedures when a Diocesan policy does not exist.
- Committees: form and participate in committee service that extends the administration’s abilities and supports the mission of the school.
As outlined in diocesan policy, school advisory boards have no role in:
- hiring, firing, or evaluating faculty and staff
- making or changing school regulations
- student discipline or any issue relating to students and/or families
- budget approval
- authorizing capital expenditures
- selecting textbooks or deciding other specifics of the educational program
- Current Newark Catholic High School advisory board bylaws were approved by the superintendent through a comprehensive process before implementation and are filed with the Office of Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Columbus.
