Dear PCCS Parents and Greater Community,
The PCCS Board of Directors is currently accepting applications for Board positions beginning Friday, March 13, 2026 through Wednesday, April 8, 2026, for at least two Parent-Elected positions with 3-year term, which shall begin in October 2026.
The PCCS Board of Directors is comprised of at least 9 individuals, each holding a 3-year elected or appointed position on the board. Becoming a member of the PCCS Board of Directors is a great way to get involved and proactively work for the school and its mission. It is also a significant responsibility and commitment to the children, parents, staff, and community of Prairie Crossing Charter School.
The board especially needs individuals with backgrounds in education, finance, marketing, and/or law to help it move forward in the governance of the school. The ability to consider differing opinions and to respond with civility and respect is a key skill for any candidate.
To be considered for the parent-elected Board positions, applicants must completed and submit the Board Candidate Application by no later than 3:30 pm on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
All candidates will be certified prior to voting. This year, we will again be using an online voting platform, Election Buddy, which is secure and transparent. Election dates will be from Monday, April 20, 2026, until Monday, May 4, 2026, at 3:30 PM.
PCCS Board member duties include:
- Commit to a 3-year term.
- Attend all Board meetings (every fourth Tuesday of the month), occasional special Board meetings, and biannual Board retreats.
- Opportunity to serve on at least one Board committee. Standing Board committees are Finance, Governance, Academic Excellence, Development, Outreach, and the Nominating Committee.
- Each Board member must complete the necessary training and paperwork as required by State law. Additional information can be found on the school website under the Series 200 Policies “Governance”.
Sincerely,
Matt Earl
President, PCCS Board of Directors
