Committees
Planning
The planning committee develops 1-year, 3-year and 5-year goals that increase our “greatness.” The committee incorporates research and ideas from the other standing committees to develop strategic plans utilizing creative solutions. The committee collaborates closely with parish ministries and school organizations to synchronize those plans and communicate them to the parish and school community. This is a great committee if you love the St. Albert Catholic Community!
​
Policy
The policy committee evaluates existing policies in the areas of Community Relations, Administration, Personnel, Students & Instruction and Business & Non-Instructional Operations. It also formulates any policy additions or changes needing to be addressed immediately. This is a great committee if you like rules or have experience in human resources, public relations, real estate, education, finance and law.
​
Budget
The budget committee gathers and understands the status of school funding from tuition, subsidies and fundraising to assist the principal in advocating on behalf of the school to the Parish Finance Council. It also reviews financial reports to ensure that proper financial management policies and procedures are in place regarding income and expenses. This is a great committee if you live on a budget or have experience in accounting and finance.
​
Development, PR & Marketing
The development, PR and marketing committee develops marketing strategy and assists with marketing activities. It cultivates relationships with school parents, parish members and alumni in terms of creating goodwill. This is a great committee if you are creative, enjoy event planning or social media. Experience in public relations, marketing, communications and development is also helpful.
​
Technology
The technology committee drafts a school technology plan, including budget, by assessing existing technology, prioritizing a wish list and gathering cost estimates on securing wish list items. It also evaluates how technology is being used effectively elsewhere. The committee works closely with school and parish technology personnel. This is a great committee if you have experience with information technology and computer programming or you just can’t live without the latest tech gadget.
​
Data
The data committee collects data on enrollment, testing, state of the school, alumni and current school families. It assists the other standing committees needing survey information and data to develop their goals, in particular the planning and development committees. This is a great committee if you love to organize or have experience in market research and data analysis.
