Renaissance Academy Charter School is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. As a non-profit organization, the collective obligation of the Board is to uphold and further the mission of the school. The Board’s primary functions are to set general policies, secure the financing of the school, and plan for its future. All implementation, overseeing of day to day operations, personnel matters, and relationships with students and families are the responsibility of the Head of School and the school’s Administrative Team. The Board relies upon the Administration to hear and adjudicate any grievances according to the policies of the school. Renaissance Academy Charter School Board Meetings are open (with the understanding that non-board members may attend and observe; and the understanding that the board will close meetings in executive session when discussing confidential matters). Meetings are usually held in the school library at 6:30pm on the 3rd Thursday every month. Minutes and agendas of each Board meeting are available upon request through the school office for review. If you plan to attend a meeting, please confirm its time and location with the office, as they are both subject to change.

Renaissance has adopted the following Continuous Learning Plan for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year.
