Our Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is our governing body comprised of un-compensated individuals elected by the delegates from the member Lutheran churches of our Association. They seek to govern the school through the Head of School as their sole employee and contact to the school administration and staff and use policy and accountability measures. Their focus is on the overall health of the school, the fulfillment of its mission and living out the core values and vision, and setting the strategic directions for the school and its ministry with an eye to the future. If you have comments or suggestions, you may contact the Board President via email at board@rockfordlutheran.org. The Board is always on the lookout for those who God stirs up to serve our ministry and so Nominations or Expressions of Interest (via Expression of Interest Information Form) and welcome and deeply appreciated!

It is the school’s expectation (and our policy) that specific issues and concerns first be brought to teacher or the appropriate administrator. If this does not resolve the matter the next level of administrator, such as the Principal or Head or School should be contacted.
