Directors
The RISE Charter School is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of not less than 4 Directors and no more than 7 Directors as set forth in the Charter School’s Articles or Bylaws. The number and qualifications of the Directors are determined by the Charter School’s Articles or Bylaws but in no event shall the number of Directors be less than three individuals. All Directors must be individuals. The Board’s powers and duties include the broad authority to adopt and enforce all necessary policies for the management and government of the Charter School.
All Directors, except the initial Directors, shall be elected, appointed, or designated as set forth in the Articles or Bylaws. The Articles or Bylaws specify the terms of Directors. Except for designated or appointed Directors, the terms of Directors may not exceed five years.
All Directors shall participate on an equal basis with other Directors in all business transactions except as set forth in or authorized by the Articles or Bylaws. Official action by Board Directors must occur at a duly called and legally conducted meeting. A meeting of the Board means convening to make a decision or to deliberate toward a decision on any matter.
Board Directors, as individuals, have no authority over school affairs or personnel, except as provided by law or as authorized by the Board.
