Academic Policy Committee

The APC is the governing body of a charter school.  Basically, they establish and oversee curriculum, rules, policies, finances and hire the principal to operate the school under their governance.  The principal reports directly to the APC and informs them throughout the year about the operation of the school during regular APC meetings that are open to the public.

The APC of Aurora Borealis consists of parents of enrolled students.  There is one Community Seat that the APC board can use to bring on someone from the community as they see fit.
