As an independent charter school, Palisades has its own Board of Trustees. The Board is composed of elected representatives of each of PCHS’ stakeholder groups.
The Board approves all major educational and operational policies and major contracts. Trustees approve the annual budget and oversees fiscal management, and selecting, hiring, evaluating, and when necessary, replacing top administrators and managers.
A monthly meeting is typically held on the third Tuesday of every month (start times vary). Special Board of Trustee meetings are held when necessary. All agendas and meeting materials are posted on the PCHS website in the time frame mandated by the Brown Act (72 hours for Regular and 24 hours for Special Board Meetings).
Public comment is welcomed at the meetings and the public is encouraged to attend board meetings.
