TVM Committees of the Board of Directors

There are five committees of the Board of Directors designed to oversee Treasure Village Montessori Charter School's policies and procedures. Committees have been created to enhance the development and forward steps of the school. It is valuable for these committees to have volunteers from the parent body. Parents make up the vital core of our committees and fundamental the success of each. We encourage and invite members of the parent body to become involved by volunteering on committees. Please visit the Board of Directors page to learn about committees and how you may participate.
