The CCS Board of Trustees seeks to be transparent and accessible. Parents are encouraged to contact board members with any questions, concerns or ideas related to board business and strategic plans. Please be sure that if you have an issue with another person you have taken it up with that person first, in accordance with Matthew 18: "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over."

Parents are asked to contact the board member assigned to the grade their child is in so that calls are distributed amongst the board.
