What is the role of our LUA school board?

The Level Up Academy Board of Directors guides our strategic direction. Critical functions of the Board include hiring and evaluating the Director, establishing LUA’s strategic plan, and safeguarding the school’s financial stability. 
 
Level Up Academy School Board meetings are held every month on the second Thursday unless noted otherwise in the meeting dates link below.  The board meetings begin at 6:00 PM and are held in the LUA Fireside Room (see school address below) as well as via Zoom.  For more information, please email info@levelupacademy.org
