Board of Directors
About the Board
The Board of Directors (BOD) sets the direction for the school and the staff takes us there. The director and staff run the school's day-to-day operations. The BOD sets policies and curriculum and ensures that MSA meets the requirements of MSA’s authorizer and its charter . The BOD is composed of MSA teachers, parents, community members, a high school student, the director, and a contracted financial manager. NOTE: The Parent Team is no longer part of the BOD and is now its own PTO. For more information, go to the MSA PTO webpage.
