Do you want to attend a board meeting?

Typically, board meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm and are open to everyone unless meeting in “executive session." Any member of the Rhema family is encouraged to attend and find out how God is blessing this school. If you wish to address the Board, please contact us at least a week before the meeting so you can be put on the agenda. There are times when the agenda is very tight and without prior knowledge of your desire to address the Board, we may not be able to allocate enough time for you to speak.
