The Monument View Montessori Charter School Board of Directors will be comprised of five to seven members, and it will always include a majority of parents. The Board will be elected by the parents/guardians of the students attending Monument View Montessori Charter School and will operate according to the by-laws laid out by the school’s operating committee.
