The Laupāhoehoe Community Public Charter School (LCPCS) Governing Board is responsible for the financial, organizational and academic viability of the school. Per its contract with the State of Hawai'i Public Charter School Commission, the Board "possesses the independent authority to determine the organization and management of the school, the curriculum and the instructional methods; has the power to negotiate supplemental collective bargaining agreements with exclusive representatives of their employees and is considered the employer of school employees for purposes of chapters 76, 78 and 89; and ensures compliance with applicable laws."
For more information about board policies, please review the governing board manual and LCPCS bylaws.
Regular Monthly Meetings:
The Governing Board holds its regular monthly meetings on the 4th Tuesday of every month at 5:00 pm on either Zoom or in the LCPCS Media Room (previously the Band Room). A listing of the meeting schedule for School Year 2024-25 can be found under the GB 2024-2025 meeting tab.

Much of the work of the Board is conducted via one of its three committees: Governance, Finance, and Executive/Agenda-Planning. Meeting dates and times for these meetings can be found on the LCPCS home page.
Agendas and other documents for governing board meetings are posted on the Meeting Documents page or via the meeting links on the LCPCS home page.
