The Diocesan School Board (DSB) is established by the Bishop for the purpose of sharing in the educational mission of schools. In addition to recommending policy, the board assists in determining priorities, establishing goals, and restructuring institutions. Board members serve a term of three years, with the possibility of a second consecutive term, and the board meets every other month during lunch (11 am to 1 pm).
Nominations to the DSB can be made through the Catholic Schools Office (secretary@csobr.org).
