Board of Directors

The Board of Directors strongly supports the mission of New Beginnings Family Academy and is dedicated to the following principal areas:

• Academic Excellence
• Character Development
• Financial Viability
• School Sustainability

The Board of Directors is committed to the academic and cultural success of New Beginnings Family Academy. The Curriculum and Instruction Committee represents the Board in overseeing New Beginnings’ academic programs, which are carefully aligned with State Department of Education standards. While administration of the school’s academic and cultural curricula is the primary responsibility of the Principal and Instructional Team, members of the Board work in concert to establish and monitor student achievement goals and a code of discipline and ethics that define New Beginnings’ culture.

Directors approve the operating budget of the school each May for the upcoming academic year. Although Connecticut charter schools receive 25 percent less, on average, in per pupil funds from the state, New Beginnings Family Academy has consistently operated on a balanced budget with monthly reports to the Board’s Finance Committee. This is due to the generosity of private individuals whose contributions not only help close the guaranteed funding gap, but also support a number of programs and services that enhance the New Beginnings curriculum and bolster student achievement.

It is the desire of the Directors, and the whole school community, for New Beginnings Family Academy to remain a desirable public school of choice for centuries to come.
