Timpanogos Academy School Board

Purpose of the School Board

The purpose of the Board of Directors is to oversee the school. Board responsibilities include executing the Timpanogos Academy vision, fostering relationships with staff and the school community, and overseeing the budget. Timpanogos Academy Board of Directors have a firm belief in the traditional school format, the charter school concept, and are committed to using the Core Knowledge curriculum.

Each Board of Director position, a length of three years after the initial term, is elected in a staggered rotation, with approximately two seats elected each year. In addition to their duties of attending board meetings and/or overseeing committees, board members attend an annual leadership conference to orient and recommit to the school's philosophy. The Timpanogos Academy charter provides for representative governance which mandates responsiveness to constituent (parent) concerns. If parents feel that any board member is not performing in the school's best interest, a recall provision is written into the charter. We believe this provides continuity to maintain the founders' original vision, allows adequate parental control over a child's education, and includes sufficient flexibility to cope with necessary, inevitable changes.
