The Bishop Neumann School Advisory Board serves in an advisory capacity to the school’s administration, helping provide thoughtful input on matters that affect the overall success of Bishop Neumann. The board is composed of school administrators and representatives from our school and parish communities who meet regularly throughout the year.
The Advisory Board assists administration by offering guidance and feedback on topics such as school policies, the student handbook, school programs, student life, and other matters that impact the school as a whole. While the board provides valuable recommendations, the administration retains the responsibility for final decisions regarding the day-to-day operation of the school.
To protect the privacy of students and staff and to ensure appropriate channels of communication, the Advisory Board does not address individual student matters, personnel issues, staff discipline, or employment decisions. Concerns regarding a specific student, teacher, or staff member should be directed to the appropriate school administrator.
If you have questions, suggestions, or feedback regarding school-wide initiatives or policies, we encourage you to contact a member of the School Advisory Board or the school administration.
