School Advisory Board
The St. Martin’s School Advisory Board (SAB) advises the pastor and principal regarding policies that govern school programs, in accordance with the Archdiocese of Washington (ADW) Board of Education. SAB’s responsibilities include facilitating the enrichment of educational activities, working with the administrative team to draft the school budget, and creating both long and short-term school related planning strategies. The guidelines that oversee the Advisory Board’s overall operations are contained in ADW’s School Board Policy Handbook and can be found in the school office.
Board Members are appointed by the Pastor and may serve two (2) three-year terms. SAB Membership also consists of the pastor and principal (ex-officio, non-voting members); Home & School Association President (ex-officio, voting member); one (1) faculty representative; and the secretary (non-voting member). Additionally, one member of the board is appointed as an ex-officio member of the Parish Council.
SAB meets monthly and members of the school and parish community are welcome to address the board during a meeting and should submit items for the agenda to schoolboard@smsmd.org two (2) weeks prior to the meeting.
