In addition, a full list of MCCPS Committee meetings, minutes and agendas can also be found here.

Governance

Finance 

The Finance Committee (FinCom) works closely with the Head of School and Finance Director to define and appropriate the budget for the school year, monitor monthly financials, annual audit, and discuss/recommend proper uses of funds for the good operations of the school. FinCom's mission is to maximize the school’s revenue that is spent in the classroom.

Academic Excellence 

The Academic Excellence Committee's primary role is to ensure that the Head of School and the Board share a common vision of what academic excellence means and measure the academic results of the school. The Academic Excellence committee looks at student performance on state tests and national standardized tests, as well as metrics such as attendance, staff and student retention, and satisfaction surveys, and measures performance against the goals set in our Charter, our accountability plan, and by the Head of School.

Development & Communications 

The Development & Communications Commitee's (DEVCOM) principal focus is to advance the MCCPS brand in the local community and help support  recruitment of new students to the school. DEVCOM also works to support non-grant fundraising that contributes to the school's overarching goals and mission.

  • Chair: Kimberly Nothnagel*

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion 

The DEI Committee is dedicated to making our school a place where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected — and where all students can thrive. In collaboration with our Head of School, we’re a team of caregivers, staff, and community members working to build a true sense of inclusion and belonging across all backgrounds, identities, languages, abilities, and learning needs.

Here are some ways we show up:

  • Supporting MCCPS’s mission to foster a culture where every student can reach their full potential
  • Making barriers to participation visible and understood so all students and caregivers can fully engage in school life
  • Celebrating diversity through events, speakers, and partnerships
  • Making school information and updates easy for everyone to access and understand

Your voice matters. Join us for one hour a month as we listen, learn, and grow together. Because “community” isn’t just part of our school’s name — it’s at the heart of who we are.
