Have you ever considered running for the MTCS Board of Directors Academic Community? If exploring leadership skill development, or wanting to use your voice in new ways is intriguing to you—this could be your chance! This year, three seats will open on the Minnesota Transitions Charter School Board, two seats for licensed teachers and one for a parent.

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.

Staff, parents and community members vote during the week of October 22, and the end of voting and the results will be announced at the Annual Meeting, on Thursday, October 25 at 6:30pm.

If you are interested in running for a seat on the MTCS Board of Directors, here is what you need to do:

  • Fill out the Board Application form and submit it to Erin Schurman at eschurman@emailmtcs.org no later than the end of the business day on September 28, 2018.
  • Your short bio and statement must be submitted to Erin Schurman at eschurman@emailmtcs.org no later than the end of the business day on September 28, 2018. This should be sent with your Board Application.
