The 2025 Platte River Academy Governing Board elections are here! Marissa Buzan has fulfilled her 3-year term and Katie Lindenberg has fulfilled her appointment for her 1-year term. We are very grateful for their service and commitment to excellence! For the 2025 year, there will be TWO open positions on the Governing Board and we would like to solicit your help.
The Governing Board is responsible for setting the school’s strategic vision, executing school wide decisions and policy, and maintaining a strong and financially-stable school. Governing Board members gain and possess a unique perspective into the day-to-day operations of the school, the administration, the faculty and the students. This is a tremendous opportunity to make a long-lasting impact on the growth and development of our children. For more information please refer to the Platte River Academy Governing Board Page, Bylaws, Section 4.2. Election of Governing Board.
Should I run for the Board? Yes! This board wants to incorporate a diverse and broad perspective of thought, well-informed opinions and a passion to see our children succeed. Many of our Board members have experience in a sundry of responsibilities from homemaker, finance, technology, construction, budgeting, education, executive leadership, prior board experience, legal and on.
Can I promote a candidate for the Governing Board if I am not a good fit? Yes! Please feel free to email the Governing Board (board@prak8.org) with your candidate’s name, contact information, and reason why you believe they would be a good fit!
What do you need to do to take this courageous step? The process and timing is as follows:
- Complete a submission form by: March 28th, 2025.
- This submission form will include a candidate profile and you will receive a follow-up contact from a Governing Board Member to complete a video on April 7, 2025.
- A short video will be shared with the school community prior to the election on April 14th, 2025.
- Voting takes place from April 21 - April 27,2025.
- Results will be communicated to the candidates and then made public by May 1, 2025.
To take the first step, follow the above link to the submission form, email board@prak8.org, or follow the QR code on the handout in Thursday folders (this week).
