Proposed Operations. The Xavier Charter School will function as a non-profit organization, organized and managed under the Idaho Nonprofit Corporation Act, as outlined in the school's Corporate Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation. Accordingly, the organizational flow chart representing the flow of information and the chain of command is as follows: The above flow chart includes, but is not limited to, the following details: The Board, as a board, shall have the full power and duty to manage and oversee the operation of the Corporation’s business. The Board of Directors will have the responsibility to approve the selection of the school Principal, who may not be one of its members. The Board also will be responsible for hearing, and approving or disapproving, the recommendations of the school Principal with respect to changes in staffing, programs, or curriculum. The Board of Directors and PFA (Parent Faculty Association) of Xavier Charter may provide consultation to the Principal regarding ongoing plans for the school. The Board will, when necessary, adjudicate disagreements between parents and the administration. The Board is responsible to the authorized chartering entity directly. The Principal (Administrator) represents the Board of Directors of the Charter School as the liaison between the Board and the charter school. The Principal supervises, directly or indirectly, all employees of the charter school. The school may hire staff or contract with a service provider for services such as transportation, food service, accounting, business management, or other business or educational services. A list of all contracts identifying the party with whom XCS has contracted, the length of the contract, and the expenditures required by the contract must be submitted to the Authorized Chartering Entity for its review no later than thirty (30) days prior to the opening of school and thereafter, annually. Xavier Charter School will be located within the Twin Falls School District Area. The City of Twin Falls is a growing community which researchers have targeted as being the next “big” city in Idaho, with a potential population of over 100,000 by the year 2015. Twin Falls School District has recently passed a bond to develop and build a second high school by 2010. The bond did not address the facility needs of the growing elementary population within the district. Xavier Charter School plans to open in the fall of 2007 with one class in each grade for grades K – 8. Xavier’s expanding into grades 9 in the school year 2008-2009 will be dependent upon approval from the Idaho Public Charter School Commission. Further expansion for grades 10 – 12, and/or increasing the number of students per grade in subsequent years will be dependent upon total enrollment, facility, budget needs, surveyed parental support, student pre-registration and upon the approval from the Xavier Charter School Board of Directors. The loss of ADA income due to Xavier’s enrollment will be offset by the increase in projected population for the Twin Falls area and will therefore minimally impact the Twin Falls School District financially. There are currently no other charter schools within the Twin Falls School District area.
