What is charter school board service?

Public charter schools in Nevada are free public schools open to all students. Public charter schools are locally governed by their own board of directors, made up of committed and dedicated professionals, parents and caregivers, and community members. Charter school board members play an important role in fostering thriving educational environments and ensuring the success of every student.

Your service as a board member could prove invaluable to a current or future public charter school if you:

• Have an unwavering belief that every kid can succeed and deserves access to a great school in their neighborhood.
• Are committed to advancing racial justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion for all kids.
• Are a parent/guardian or community member who is passionate about making a difference.
• Possess expertise in fields such as education, law, human resources, business, real estate, accounting/finance, grants, real estate, marketing, fundraising, and/or other specialties.
• Can commit dedicated time to attend board meetings and fulfill other board obligations.
• Are ready to invest in your own development as a board member by engaging with resources to support your effectiveness in the role.
