The Our Lady of Mount Carmel School Parent Guild Board is a fundraising board that serves to bridge the gap between tuition income and the true cost of educating a child in order to maintain affordable tuition. The Guild:
Is advisory in nature
Includes parents of current students, the principal, and the pastor
Has no legal status apart from the school and therefore may not be separately incorporated
Functions in accordance with a written constitution and bylaws that comply with archdiocesan policy that govern the structure and operation of such an organization
Is subject to all Department of Catholic Schools regulations and policies
Membership
The membership of the parent organization shall include the pastor of the parish or his designee, principal, parents/guardians of currently enrolled students, and religious and lay faculty (if the organization is a parent-teacher organization). The pastor and principal shall have the right to approve officers and other members of the executive committee during the nomination process. The pastor or his designee and the principal shall be ex officio members of the executive committee of the organization.
