The Saint Ursula School Board

History

In 1986, the enrollment of the school was at an all time low of 370 students, buildings were in need of serious repair, funds were very low, and the new Principal asked for assistance in guiding and directing St. Ursula School. That same year the Saint Ursula School Board was instituted and developed long range planning for the school. The Board established committees to oversee various aspects of the school, including tuition, education, maintenance, finance, tuition assistance and development.

Over the next few years, the Board, through its Committees, oversaw several enhancements. Through the oversight of the Physical Plant Committee, repairs were made to the roofs, windows and boilers, while environmental concerns were also addressed. The Development Committee wrote grant proposals to obtain funding from the Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, Knott Foundation and others. Tuition assistance was established through the parish to help those families with the greatest need. The Education Committee worked on curriculum to bring SUS in line with other schools and meeting the needs of area Catholic High Schools.

The Board now has the following seven standing committees: Budget and Finance; Policy and Planning; Tuition Policy; Development and Institutional Advancement; Facilities; Membership; and Tuition Assistance. Each committee is chaired by a Board member and has regularly scheduled meetings.

Over the years the Board has been able to provide for a strong education, which is open to all, while maintaining a strong financial base. In all it does, the Board continues to keep a Catholic identity, as the School and Board are always mindful of the holy presence of God.
