Board
of Specified Jurisdiction (BSJ)
INSTITUTIONAL ADVANCEMENT
The Board of Specified Jurisdiction (BSJ) is an Archdiocesan mandated
group where limited school leadership, management, monitoring, fundraising
and development pass into the hands of a broader, more diverse and
experienced group than merely the Pastor and Principal. BSJ committees
have been formed in line with areas specified by the Archdiocese, with
members coming from our parish, community, school parents, and outside
professionals. The BSJ meets bi-monthly with committee meetings being held
in the off-months and there is no fiscal remuneration for its members. The
BSJ officers will be Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and Secretary; the
consensus method will govern all meetings.
The structure
of our BSJ is fairly complete, but new members may be added to meet the
range of skills needed. Fr. Bob and Bob Zeegers (Principal, St. Dorothy
School) are ex- officio members as is the Chairperson of the BSJ. The BSJ
at present is composed of the following people: Vickie Cook (Chair), John
Wheeler, Bob Anderson, Shirley Conley, Dr. Dennis Sweeney, LaShawn Cobb,
Karin Norington-Reaves, Anthony Chimera, Brian Hutchins, Dr. Kevin Zajdel,
and Ty Andrews and Stephanie Richie.
