2.16.4 CONSULTATIVE SCHOOL BOARDS
The purpose of the Consultative School Board is to promote broader participation in the operations of the school, to invite administrative and financial counsel in formulating school policies, and to assist in devising and maintaining plans designed to assure the school's success.  The consultative school board may be engaged in such matters as planning, policy development, financing, development, technology, public relations, buildings and grounds, alumni relations, marketing and evaluation of the board's goals, and activities of the board. 

The Consultative School Board works with other established groups in the school and parish community, including the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), the Parish Council, and the Parish Finance Council.

The Consultative School Board serves to assist the pastor and principal.  All actions of the board shall be seen as counsel to the pastor and principal, who shall act in good faith and without prejudice in accepting such counsel, provided that no board recommended action conflicts with applicable Church laws, archdiocesan policies and practices, or civil law governing school administration.​
