Board Meetings 

Windsor Charter Academy’s Executive Board meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of each month, unless otherwise noted. Work sessions are held the week prior to the regular session and begin at 5:00 p.m. Regular sessions begin at 6:00 p.m. All meetings are held in the middle school media center.

The media center has limited seating for Executive Board Meetings. Once capacity is reached, stakeholders will be directed to view the meeting via live stream from the middle school commons. Once a board meeting has begun, to minimize disruption for presenters, entry into the media center will be paused until presentations have concluded. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
