Governing Board
ALL ABOUT THE GOVERNING BOARD
What does a Charter School Board do?
As Charter Schools are independent Public Schools, we have our own School Board. This group of seven parents oversees and guides the Administration in making decisions about school policies, operations and finances. Additionally, the board oversees the school's academic goals and programs. Essentially, we help govern the school, but we do not run the school. The day-to-day operations of the school are handled by our Principal and staff.
What you can expect from us:
The Governing Board will be engaging in training to ensure we utilize best practices for high performing boards. We will work as a team to set and accomplish goals, and we will engage with ACS parents, staff, and the larger Castle Rock community. Specifically, the Board will engage in the following activities:
- Develop and use a strategic plan
- Help make decisions concerning finances, policies, and academics
- Ensure adequate resources for the school and maintenance to the building
- Communicate with stakeholders as a Board
- Enhance the school's public image

ACS needs dedicated parents who have excellent communication skills, are team players, want to make a difference at ACS, are learners, will promote ACS in our community, and will work to see ACS grow. ACS will hold elections as needed. Please watch for those opportunities each Spring.
