A considerable strength of the Community Charter School of Paterson is its dedicated Board of Trustees. The Board consists of seven individuals, each of whom brings an important set of skills and perspective to the School’s governance.
Consistent with the approved charter, three of the seven trustees are affiliated with New Jersey Community Development Corporation as the founding organization; two are parents; and two are members of the community-at-large. All seven have full voting privileges.
