A Board of Parents & Teachers

Blacksburg New School is run by a Board of Directors, composed of parents and teachers. The Board, its officers and committees, and the teachers administer the day-to-day running of the school. Board meetings take place on the second Wednesday of each month. All parents and teachers are invited to attend Board meetings. Board and Corporation meeting minutes are distributed via email. 

 

All Blacksburg New School parents make up the corporation. There are mandatory Spring and Fall Corporation Meetings, where the board is elected. Each family has one vote divided equally between the parents. Each teacher also has one vote.
