A NEW APPROACH
A NEW ERA
The Rosa Parks Charter High School Board of Directors will hold school board elections on Wednesday, November 8th, 2023 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. via electronic voting. All current staff, parents/guardians of current students, and current board members are eligible to vote for candidates.
Interested in becoming a board member? To qualify, you must be at least 18 years of age and:
- Parent/Guardian of current ROSA student(s)
- Current teacher at ROSA
- Member of the Rochester area community
Board members are trustees, not just of the assets of the school, but also of the expectations, hopes and dreams of the school community - students, parents and staff. Charter school board members are also trustees for the citizens of Minnesota, responsible for the common good and public funds.
The school board consists of five to nine members with staggered two-year terms. The board currently has four open positions to fill.
If you are interested in serving on the ROSA Charter High School Board of Directors or would like to nominate someone, please email a letter of interest by end of day October 31, 2023 to:
