Bishop Donald Kettler convened a steering committee to design a single Catholic school system — named Catholic Community Schools — for the St. Cloud metro area and surrounding communities. To keep the public apprised of its work and address general questions people may have, the group provides regular updates in The Visitor and on the diocesan website (www.stclouddiocese.org; click on “St. Cloud-area Catholic schools initiative.”) The following is a brief summary of the committee’s July 24 meeting.
- Committee members began by reviewing emails and other feedback they received since the last meeting. Committee representatives will respond as appropriate.
- The committee finalized a governance structure for Catholic Community Schools that includes a corporate board, board of directors and site councils from the schools involved that will serve in an advisory role. (See chart, right.)
- The committee is inviting principals and presidents from the schools involved in Catholic Community Schools to its next meeting in order to share an update of the committee’s work, hear feedback and answer questions.
