Governing Board

Mesa Directiva

Attention: SDSA Governing Board is currently migrating to an updated document platform. If you are unable to find agendas, minutes or other documents, please contact us via email and we will send you the requested documents.

The purpose of SDSA's governing board is to set the general direction and policy of our school. Though our board does not manage the day-to-day operations at Salida del Sol, it does act as an accountability measure to ensure we meet the needs of our students and adhere to our vision and mission statements. Our board also oversees the financial stability of the academy and deals with school-related issues as prescribed in our bylaws.

Nuestra Mesa Directiva también vela por la estabilidad financiera de la academia y se ocupa de cuestiones relacionadas con la escuela como se prescribe en nuestros estatutos.
