School Commission

Our Lady of Lourdes School Commission meets monthly. Members of the School Commission go through training about expectations regarding issues that require confidentiality, and we want to make sure all of those topics are handled with great care. Each commissioner is paired with a faculty or staff member and is responsible for one area of the school, as noted below.

We welcome parents who would like to bring an item to the commission’s attention. The item must be approved by the Principal who could opt to add it to the meeting agenda. For all sensitive conversations, the meeting will move to executive session and guests will be asked to leave.
