MANAGEMENT AND STRUCTURE

BHA is governed by a Board of Education (BOE) consisting of seven board members. MLC appoints four BOE members while parents elect three BOE members. Each BOE member’s term consists of two years and can be renewed in a staggered fashion, i.e. potentially new BOE members can serve every year. BOE is the directing and executive body of the school. BOE ensures the financial stability of the school, sets the school’s mission with input from BHA administration, and supports the BHA administration in the day-to-day operations of the school on an as-needed basis.

More details on the qualifications, roles and responsibilities of MLC and BOE can be found in the school by-laws (here).
