Board of Trustees
Merrick Academy is guided by a dedicated Board of Trustees that provides strategic leadership, fiscal oversight, and accountability to ensure the success and sustainability of our school.
Join us for our Monthly Board Meetings, held on the last Tuesday of each month, where we discuss important topics related to school governance, policy decisions, important updates, and the overall direction of our school community. These meetings are open to the public, providing an opportunity for families, staff, and stakeholders to stay informed and engaged in the decision making process. Meeting agendas, minutes, and upcoming dates can be found on the Merrick Academy Board Public Portal, ensuring transparency and open communication between the school and our community. We value your input, and encourage you to participate as we work together for the success of our students.
