Catholic schools in the Archdiocese in Kansas City in Kansas are encouraged to form business advisory teams rather than traditional school advisory councils. These business advisory teams are comprised of local experts in finance, facilities, marketing, and operational systems. The pastor and principal are responsible for the spiritual and academic facets of the school.

School advisory councils exist at the discretion of the pastor and principal and are designed to be of a strictly consultative nature. The council is designed to serve as a sounding board to the principal. When called upon, the council gives feedback to the principal and pastor regarding policy and standards for the school. Administrators are responsible for developing methods and programs to implement policy. Matters involving curriculum, personnel, and individual student concerns of a confidential nature are solely the purview of administrators and pastors and are not appropriate topics for school council consideration. School council members are appointed by the pastor in consultation with the principal.

The BAC typically meets once per quarter, and subcommittees may meet more often, as needed. If you have questions regarding the BAC, please contact Mrs. Stessman either by calling the school or at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
