Children’s House is a not for profit corporation of perpetual duration. The board sets the policies for the corporation and is ultimately responsible for its operations and development. Any parent, staff, or community member is welcome to bring items to the board. The board meets monthly, and once during each semester, the board holds an Open Meeting where parents and community members are welcome to attend. The board members bring a variety of expertise to the school and they are honored to serve the students, the staff, and the community. The board is the ultimate representative of the children: our job is to make sure that resources are allocated in the interest of the children so that CMS can be the best possible place to be a developing and learning child. Board members are volunteers and do not receive any compensation for their work. To contact the Board please email: board@cmsnorman.org.
