Education Governance Council (EGC)

One of the founding principles of GCCS is the belief that our educational mission is dependent upon the participation and support of all stakeholders and professional faculty. Statutory prohibitions prevent employees from serving as Trustees. Nonetheless, the professional expertise of the faculty is essential for the Board of Trustees to fulfill its governance responsibilities in all matters exclusive of the financial elements of the employment relationship with staff.

The Education Governance Council (EGC) offers advice for any action of the Board of Trustees on any matter not related to an employment relationship or staff disciplinary action. The Board of Trustees will give due consideration to the opinions expressed by this group.

Current EGC members:

• Kemouy Bhalai, School Director | GCCS – RMSC Campus
• Allison Carlson, 2nd-3rd Grade Teacher | GCCS – RMSC Campus
