The Lourdes Catholic School Board of Education represents our Catholic School families and works with the Our Lady of Lourdes parish office and various parish organizations to provide meaningful educational experiences that are rooted in our Catholic faith.
The Board of Education receives guidance from the Diocese of Davenport but is responsible for establishing its own policies and procedures for the administration of the school and enforcement of those policies and procedures. The Board is comprised of the Executive Committee (President, VP, Secretary, Pastor, and Principal); Marketing/Public Relations Committee: Policy and Procedure Committee and Finance Committee. In addition to committee participation, the Board supports our Lourdes Religious Ed, Youth Ministry and K -12 Catholic School programs through various involvements.
The Board meets monthly, typically the third Tuesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. in the school library. Parents and other interested parties are welcome and encouraged to attend the open sessions.
