NCA Board of Directors

ROLE OF THE BOARD

1. The board convenes once a month on a routine basis and calls for sessions in between meetings as needed.  

2. The board hires, manages, and evaluates two employees; the Chief Academic Officer and the Chief Financial Officer (together known as the Chief Executive Team).  

3. The board approves of the hiring and firing of employees at the recommendation of the Chief Executive Team.  

4. The board speaks with one voice, not many voices; therefore without a quorum and a majority vote, a formal decision cannot be passed. 

5.  The board performs a fiduciary role and ensures financial solvency and integrity. 

6. The board does not handle the day-to-day operations of the school but functions as a policy maker.  

7. They ensure effective organizational planning, mission and basic values of the school's programs and services. 

8. They also serve as a "final court of appeals/judiciary board" for unresolved issues that may occasionally arise. 

9. The board approves the major goals/needs and the overall strategic plan of the school. 

10.  The board is self-perpetuating, therefore they recruit new members with nominations from the New Covenant Academy constituency and take into consideration areas of expertise the board feels would benefit the Academy.
