Board Members

Education Governance Council Representatives

One of the founding principles of the Genesee Community Charter School was the belief that the School’s success in fulfilling its educational mission is dependent upon the participation and support of all stakeholders and, in particular, the participation and support of its professional faculty.  Statutory prohibitions prevent employees from serving as Trustees.  Nonetheless, the professional expertise and insight of the faculty is essential to enable the Board of Trustees to fulfill its governance responsibilities in all matters exclusive of the financial elements of the employment relationship with staff.

The following GCCS – Flour City staff members attend all Flour City Board of Trustees meetings  serving as members of the Education Governance Council (EGC).  The EGC offer advice for any action of the Board of Trustees on any matter not related to an employment relationship or staff disciplinary action and the Board of Trustees will give due consideration to the opinions expressed by this group.

To contact Board Members: please call 585-417-7020 and leave a message.
