Reporting to the Board Policy

Reporting to the Board Policy – OLV:

The Principal reports to the Board as a whole and keeps it informed of the true and accurate position of the outcomes of programmes and services; financial position; and all matters having real or potential legal consideration for our school.  Thus the board is supported in its strategic decision-making and risk management.  Therefore, the Principal may not fail to:

·        Inform the board of significant trends, implications of the board decisions, issues arising from policy matters or changes in the basic assumptions upon which the board’s strategic goals are based

·        Submit the monitoring data required in a timely, accurate and understandable fashion

·        Report and explain financial variance of 10% against budget

·        Present information in a suitable form – not too complex or lengthy

·        Inform the board when, for any reason there is non-compliance of a board policy

·        Recommend changes in board policies when the need for them becomes known

·        Limit public statements about the official position of the board on controversial social, political and /or educational issues to what the board has formally adopted as positions of record.
