As a pilot school, GPA is overseen by a Governing Board comprised of community leaders, administrators, teachers, and parents. The Governing Board sets the school’s vision, establishes policies, hires staff, evaluates and supports the principal, approves the annual budget, and leads fundraising efforts.
