Our Board
Mercy Montessori School is incorporated as a not for profit 501(c)3 organization, and is under the sponsorship of the Sisters of Mercy, South Central Regional Community.
The Board of Trustees includes a President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, Sisters of Mercy Representative, the Principal, and four at-large Representatives. Board members are elected for three-year terms.
The primary responsibility of Trustees is to set policy which supports the long-term health of the school. The Principal and the professional staff of the school handle day-to-day operations.
In the spring of 2005, as a result of a school wide Discernment Process it was recommended that 8 present parents also join the Board as non-voting Committee Members to provide additional assistance and insight to Trustees. Committee terms are two years.
