Governance |
Model Christian School
Ontario Christian School is a charter member of Model Christian Schools. The Model Christian School governance system centers all aspects of organization, operation, and curriculum on the stated philosophical goals. The Model Christian School assigns the school board as the primary authority to give direction and oversight to the school. The board determines the goals, direction, and priorities of the school as well as the process by which to make changes. The board governs by policies leaving the management and “running” of the school to administration and staff.
The Association
The Association owns the school. Rather than parochial or private, Ontario Christian is owned by parents and friends of Christian education and who are committed to promoting the mission and philosophy of the school. The Association must approve the annual budget, tuition, changes in constitution and by-laws, and the purchase or sale of land on behalf of the school as recommended by the board. The Association elects board members to represent Association.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is elected by the Association to govern the school on their behalf. The board sets the vision, policies, and accountability standards for the school. The term of office for a board member is for three years. The officers are President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Vicar. Normally the Board meets each month.
Administration, Faculty, and Staff
The administration and staff are essential in carrying out the mission of the school. The board takes care in establishing policies requiring all employees meet the following qualifications: profess Christ Savior and Lord and maintain a positive Christian testimony, be active in attendance of a local Protestant Christian Church, agree with and adhere to the Statement of Christian Life Commitment, enroll eligible children in Ontario Christian School in grades kindergarten through twelve, have or be in the process of securing a current teaching or other appropriate professional certificate recognized by a State. The Academic Administrators and teachers of Bible in grades 7-12 must be active in attendance of church that adheres to Article I of the Constitution.
