Helix Charter Governing Board

A seven member Governing Board, consisting of parents, staff and community members, is empowered to make school wide policy decisions. School wide policy includes, but is not limited to: graduation requirements, admission standards, attendance policies, school calendar, general and fiscal oversight and annual budget approval. Moreover, the Helix Governing Board is also responsible for appointing, evaluating, compensating and, when necessary, replacing the Principal.

The Helix Governing Board consists of seven voting members. The voting members are:

4 Staff Members (1 Classified Staff Member elected by the Classified Staff, 3 Certificated Staff Members elected by the Certificated Staff)

3 Parent/Community Members (1 President of the PTSA, 1 parent elected at-large by the PTSA, and 1 community member not employed by the school, appointed by the Chairperson of the Helix Governing Board from a slate of nominees)

The following non-voting Representatives to the Helix Governing Board are expected to attend and participate in every Helix Governing Board meeting:

The school Principal and the entire Management Team
2 Students elected by the Student Council


The Five Fundamental Principles

1. All students are connected to school and learning through greater personalization and interactions among peers and adults.

2. All students are active learners; all teachers are facilitators of student learning.

3. All students demonstrate powerful learning through the production of significant work; all teachers design powerful curriculum.

4. All students, through interdisciplinary work, transfer knowledge to real-world situations.

5. All students achieve and stay in school because they see a connection between school work and the world of work.
