Meetings
Board meetings, agendas, location and times will be posted on our website 24 hours in advance. For issues involving personnel, contracts, or other sensitive matters, the Board may vote by a two-thirds majority to adjourn to Executive Session following the regularly scheduled Board Meeting agenda. All meetings are open to the public, and your attendance is welcome!
Board Purpose
The AXIS Governing Board is the ultimate authority and policy-making body for the school. The Board will provide strategic guidance for the school and will effectively oversee and review the school principal. As stewards of the AXIS mission, the AXIS Board of Directors will focus on the outward vision of AXIS International Academy.
The Board's three main responsibilities include:
● Ensuring a strategic approach to the school’s future by setting major goals, policy frameworks and strategies
● Appointing, evaluating, and renewing the Head of School
● Providing financial oversight of the school
Documents regarding the governance of the school are posted below.
Additional Board Members
Currently, the AXIS Board of Directors has two additional non-voting members: the AXIS Business Manager, Jenny Whitaker, and AXIS Head of School, Kari Anne Calarco.
Organizational and Financial Transparency
The AXIS International Academy Board of Directors typically meets at 7:00pm the 3rd Wednesday of each month at AXIS International Academy 2130 W. Horsetooth Road, Fort Collins, CO 80526. Please check back on the website calendar for any updated meeting information.
All parents and community members are welcome and encouraged to attend. Although specific agenda items may vary month to month, the agenda format typically remains consistent. Previous agendas are posted below. Agendas are posted at least 24-hours in advance of the meeting. Meeting minutes are posted one month after the actual meeting, as they must be Board approved at the following meeting (i.e. January minutes are posted in February after approval of the January minutes at the February meeting). Once meeting minutes are approved and uploaded they replace the agenda posting on this site.
