Board Bank

Serving on a charter school board offers a unique opportunity for civic engagement and allows community members to contribute to education reform. Through their service, charter school board members directly contribute to improvement of the public school system. Individuals interested in applying to the Board Bank should take the following steps:

• Determine if you have the capacity (time, expertise, interest) in serving on a charter school board.
• Complete the Board Bank Application.
• Conduct research on the Partner Schools. Determining the right fit is important and requires due diligence.

If there is a mutual interest, LAPCS will serve as a “connector” by introducing prospective candidates to the Partner School’s board contact. LAPCS does not guarantee placement on any charter board or committee. Final decisions will be made at the discretion of the governing boards of each Partner School.
