What Does The Board Do For OA?

The Board of Trustees of Oldenburg Academy is charged with the responsibility of managing the school. It is the commitment to academic excellence, social responsibility, leadership and personal growth for each OA student that energizes the Board. The primary duties are to ensure that the school operation is consistent with the mission and values of the Sisters of St. Francis; to set general policies; to approve the annual financial plan of the school; and to provide strategic direction. All the powers and responsibilities are set forth in the By-Laws.

How Does The Board Accomplish This Work?

The current Board consists of 22 members, of various backgrounds, qualifications and interests. A term of office is four years, up to a maximum of 12 consecutive years. Terms are staggered to ensure continuity. Regular meetings are held every other month; special meetings, such as those focused on planning, are typically held one to two times a year.
