TIS Board of Directors and National Advisory Board

The Intergenerational School is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization governed by a Board of Directors, which serves the same function as a traditional public school board. TIS is ultimately accountable to its sponsor and the State Board of Education, a board elected by the voters of the state of Ohio. However, policy relating to the operation of the school is determined by the TIS Board of Directors in accordance with applicable federal and state law.

At the time of this writing, meetings for the 2006-2007 school year will be held on the 3rd Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. at the school. Any individual wishing to receive mailed notice of Board meetings or a copy of Board minutes should call the school to make this arrangement.

The Board of Directors approves all personnel actions, budget actions, and enacts policy. Minutes of Board meetings are kept on school premises.
