St. Al's Board of Directors
Finance: The finance committee is working on tuition setting for the 20-21 school year, as well as, determining the budget for the school for the 20-21 school year.
Facilities: The Facilities committee is doing research on lighting options for the school campus and how best to convert to LED bulbs and fixtures. This is still in the research phase. In addition to lighting, this committee is looking into upgrading the switches in the HVAC system to be sure our system is efficiently running. Finally, through a generous grant, we are working on a remodel/upgrade of the cafeteria of the school. Plans and ideas will be shared with families and students soon.
Enrollment: This committee is specifically focused on growing our enrollment and retention of our current students. You will be notified of upcoming events and ideas to continue to share this amazing school with others in the community.
Development: The role of this committee is to grow our development dollars and donor database. Alumni and community relations are at the heart of what this committee is focused on this school year. Growing our development dollars allows us to continue to provide Catholic Education to all of our families and others who are interested in St. Al's as well as keeping our programs strong and growing!
