Governance of the school

The Miquon School is a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation and maintains 501(c)3 status. Every parent or guardian of a child enrolled and every regularly employed staff person at The Miquon School is a member of the corporation.

The corporation is governed by a Board of Directors which is comprised of twenty (20) members; they include the Principal, two (2) teaching staff members, four (4) alumni/alumni parents, and thirteen (13) current parents. Each member serves a three year term and may be re-elected once. The Board of Directors has four primary responsibilities:

  • It selects, evaluates, and supports the Principal of the School, to whom it delegates authority to manage the School.
  • It develops broad institutional policies that guide the Principal in running the School.
  • It plans and provides oversight of the annual operating budget, oversees the School's endowments, sponsors development activities, and maintains the financial well-being of the School.
  • It nurtures a sense of community-wide involvement and support of the School.

The Board of Directors meets monthly during the school year on campus. All members of the corporation are encouraged to attend monthly Board meetings and, particularly, the Annual Meeting of the Corporation in May. Minutes of all the Board meetings are distributed to the community electronically.

The Board has both standing committees and ad hoc committees. Non-Board member parents and staff are very much encouraged to become involved in the growth and health of the school by joining ad hoc committees and considering membership on the Board of Directors.
