Annual Meeting and Board of Directors Elections

One of the unique and wonderful aspects of Charter Schools is their leadership—run entirely by staff, parents and community members.  Being on the Board of Directors is a chance to work together and make decisions that create opportunities for students.

This year, MTCS K-12 Academic Community has 4 open seats on the Board.

Candidates who wish to run for the Board must submit their application and bios by Friday, March 28^th, 2025 at 5:00pm to run in the 2025 election.

Staff and parents will vote electronically during the period from April 14 through April 24th at 5:00p.m.  Results will be announced Friday, April 25.  Instructions for voting will be sent to you.
