17 Shift in Parent as Consumer
18 1. One single governance model does not meet the needs of the diversity of our schools and communities across our country 2. Forming leaders is becoming critical to the success of the schools at the local level
19 Effective governance requires: 1. Clarity of vision 2. Strong leadership 3. Long-term planning Best practices in governance include Strategic planning Marketing Advancement Ethical use of financial resources Focused outreach to the wider community
20 PARISH INTER-PARISH DIOCESAN PRIVATE NCEA Data
21 Consortium Diocesan Catholic School Network Board of Full Jurisdiction
22 Full Jurisdiction No Board Limited Jurisdiction School Governance Advisory Consultative
23 Priest/pastor education Low-teacher salary Fundraising Built in Disincentives
24 Catholic schools exist within two legal structures: 1) Catholic Church 2) Civil Society
25 Ownership Control Administration Vision Mission Mandate
26 Governing authority in the Church generally falls into one of three entities: a local pastor or canonical administrator a bishop or his designee (e.g. staff in the diocesan offices) a board
27 Mission and Philosophy Ethical and Responsible use of Finances and School Assets Catholic Identity and Proper Administration Principles of Catholic Teaching in Curriculum Support of Catholic Liturgical and Spiritual Life of Students and Staff Public Catholic Witness of the Board, Faculty and Staff
28 The governing body is directed and guided by statutes or by-laws. These should include: Purpose Basic organization Structure Governing principles Forms of decision-making Mode of operation
29 I XII VIII II XI XIII IX VII VI III IV X V XIV XII 30 Cristo Rey Jesuit Schools in 19 XI 35 Nativity Miguel Network Schools in 15 States
30 No board, full executive authority Executive Central Total central control Advisory, consultative board, executive oversight Consortium Board of limited jurisdiction, executive with limited authority Board of full authority, no executive Network affiliation Collaborative system Collegial Local Local management
31
32 Some important points: Collaboration and Communication are Essential Effective Governance is Vital to Change Effective Governance Depends on Effective Leadership
33 1. Encourage participation in our Catholic schools at the local and national levels; 2. Identify and form present and future leaders and teachers in our Catholic schools; 3. Encourage best practices of good governance, strategic planning, and ethically sound financial practices in the parishes and schools; 4. Support and strengthen new and existing models of governance which encourage lay involvement and strong boards;
34 5. Support mentoring and education programs for seminarians/pastors for Catholic schools; 6. Encourage creative thinking at the local level about tuition models, marketing, enrollment, and community partnerships for Catholic schools; 7. Support local and national efforts that enable parents to choose the education that is best for their child;
