Mission statement

The mission of the Oak Street CDC board is to ensure the longevity and solvency of the center through long-term planning, goal setting, and financial and director oversight. 

 

The objectives of the board are to:

• Support the long-term viability of the Center;

• Provide input on financial decisions that impact the center;

• Make decisions about tuition, Center policies, salaries, and approve the budget;

• Serve as a liaison between the Center director and families, if required;

• Provide support for the Center Director in the community;

• Actively recruit new members to ensure board stability and continuity; and

• Provide oversight of the Center director

 

Parent board meetings

Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at 5:30 (during COVID we are meeting virtually). Any parent or guardian of children who attend the center is welcome to join in the meeting. If you would like to join the meeting, please email oscdcparentboard@gmail.com to request the next meeting’s link. Guests are welcome and encouraged to participate, although only board members can participate in any votes.    

 

Meetings provide updates from the Center Director about enrollments, space and expansion updates, and staff changes. We also get updates from the budget committee, policy committee, and fundraising committee. Any long-term goals (e.g. expansion of the center, COVID issues, programming changes) are also discussed as relevant. 

 

Any member of the center (which includes a parent or guardian of any child attending the center) is welcome to join meetings and participate in discussions. Only board members can vote on policy changes.
