ACLC GOVERNING BOARD

The Governing Board acts as the primary governing body of the ACLC Charter School and is composed of nine members. It is charged with development and oversight of policy, budget, personnel, organizational development, strategic planning, and maintaining the vision of the ACLC Charter. The Governing Board is comprised of three facilitators, two elected learners from the whole body of learners, two parents appointed by the learners and facilitators, one AUSD representative, and one member from the Alameda community appointed by the learners and facilitators. All decisions of the Governing Board shall be made by a majority vote of its members unless otherwise specified by this Charter or in Bylaws adopted by the Governing Board.

The Governing Board meets monthly or as needed and is charged with the overall policy making affecting all areas of the ACLC Charter School. Along with other duties, the Governing Board decides these issues:
• Personnel management including hiring of staff (requires 2/3 majority)
• Budget preparation and determination
• Budget monitoring
• Decisions on day-to-day operational issues
• Recruitment of staff and new learners

The Governing Board appoints the Lead Facilitator who oversees the three groups that are charged with the three primary functions of governance: legislation (Contemporary Community Citizenship); judicial (Judicial committee); and executive (Leadership). These groups are vested with authority and provide the venue for youth empowerment and leadership within the school. The lead facilitator will also attend the District Administrative meetings to facilitate strong communication between programs.
