The School Commission is a consultative body that recommends school policies within the context of parish priorities and goals. Commission responsibilities include establishing a mission statement for the school, formulating long-range goals, developing a means to finance the school (including tuition structures, financial development and fundraising), promoting communication and public relations, and evaluating the school’s goals and plans.

Are you interested in serving?
Commission members typically serve three year terms with a few members rotating off the commission every year due to staggered terms. The principal and commission would like to invite you to express your interest in serving by completing the School Commission Interest Survey. The commission will review these surveys from time to time throughout the year as they consider potential new members. If you don’t hear anything for a few months, rest assured that we have your interest form on file. Thank you so much for supporting our principal and the mission of our school.
Please contact Leslie Simons if you would like to check on your survey or withdraw it at lsimons@olfatima.org.
