Our school board is an integral part of our school. The men and women who choose to serve on the board are all mature Christian men and women who out of a strong desire to serve and play a role in the education of their children with prayer, volunteering time and/or money to assist the leadership of the school. Being a board member means being an active part of our Bios school community.

Each board member serves a one year term in which he or she has specific responsibilities to be accomplished for that year. For example, some of these responsibilities may include heading up or serving with the capital campaign committee, grounds improvements, or building improvements. Board members are suggested by the Core group of teachers and selected by the Board President.

Board minutes will be available in the school office seven days after the board meeting.
