The Saint Paul School Board serves as a consultative body to the Pastor and Principal. The School Board is a leadership group within the ministry of Catholic education. The responsibilities of the School Board include the following:
 

1.   Mission Statement:  the adoption of the school’s mission statement and periodic review of its operational validity.

2.   Policy:  the formulation and adoption of policy for the school, as needed, within the framework of Archdiocesan policy.  The School Board monitors the implementation of school policies and procedures.

3.   Planning:  the development and regular updating of a 3-5 Year Strategic Plan for the School, annual goal-setting for the School and for the Board. 

4.   Advancement:  the formulation and implementation of an Advancement Program for the school, following Archdiocesan guidelines, and in cooperation with the Office of Catholic Schools.

5.   Budget:  the adoption of the school’s operational budget, according to the format specified by the Office of Catholic Schools.

6.   Evaluation:  the systematic evaluation of the school’s mission statement, goals and policies, the workings of the Board itself and the Principal/Chief Administrator, within the process established by the Archdiocese.

7.   Recommendation for the Appointment of the Principal/Chief Administrator:  when a vacancy occurs, Board members will be asked to participate in the search process.
 

In fulfilling its work for the school, the Board has established several internal committees which work directly with the school administration. These include the Development, Recruitment and Retention, Finance, Facilities, Nominating and Strategic Planning Committees.
