Montessori is organized as a nonprofit organization under the laws of
Oregon

the
U.S.
As a nonprofit corporation the school is managed by a Board of
Directors.

the day- to-day operation of the school.
The main
Responsibilities of the Board are as follows:
1.
Dealing with the legal and financial operation of the school.

ALL
MEETINGS ARE PUBLIC MEETINGS. We are bound by the State of
Oregon
's Open Meeting Law and its
Public Records Law. The only time the board can meet privately is in
an executive session, and these are allowed only to discuss personnel
issues. At no other time can observers be asked to excuse themselves.
Ridgeline Montessori’s
Site Council
Meetings: As scheduled,
monthly
The Site
Council includes representatives from all stakeholder groups: parents,
teachers, support staff, and administration. No more than half
of the council may be teachers, and no more than half can be parents at the
school. Each stakeholder group meets on a regular basis to identify
areas of concern and suggest agenda items for the full Site Council's
consideration. In this way, the Site Council ensures that everyone
involved in the school has a voice in how the school grows, develops and is
governed. No group is able to dominate site council decision-making,
because all action decisions are made by consensus.
The main
objectives of the Site Council are as follows:
1.
To provide visionary leadership for the school.
2.
To consider issues pertaining to staffing, enrollment, curriculum, and
program development.
3.
To provide a forum for all stakeholder groups.
