The Saints Peter & Paul Catholic School Board is a consultative advisory body to the principal and pastor, operating within its own area of competency in regard to the school. It is subject to regulations and direction from the pastor and the Diocesan School Office.
The Pastor/Principal have final authority in all Board matters. The Board carries out assigned responsibilities in regards to provide policy direction for the school (redarding the annual school budget, setting tuition rates, guiding other SSPP Boards), to promote the implementation of said policies, and to ensure that all local policies are in accord with the intent and spirit of the policies established for the school system by the Joliet Diocesan Board of Education.

Meetings are typically held on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Meetings are not scheduled during the months of June, July and December. Meetings are held in the Ministry Center, beginning at 6:00 PM and are open to the public. The agenda will be posted electronically one week prior to each meeting.
SSPP School Board Minutes are posted on FACTS, our internal school communication tool. For an issue or topic to be discussed at a Board meeting, it must be submitted in writing to the president and principal at least five days prior to a regularly scheduled meeting. The Board will openly listen to all topics, but will not actively respond or make a decision when a topic is presented. Specific teachers/staff or anything of a personal matter should not be raised at the Board level, but should first be communicatied to the person directly involved, the principal, and then the pastor, in this order. If an issue or concern is not resolved, it can then be sent to the Board President who will communicate back if it will be put on the agenda for a meeting. All final decisions at SSPP are ultimately made by the principal and pastor; not by a majority vote. We are proud of the cohesiveness and support to the principal and pastor that the SSPP School Board offers throughout the school year. It is the goal of the Board to make sound decisions and policies that will promote the mission of the school and most importantly motivate and protect the students at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School.
