Founded in 2011, the Little Chute Governance Council has been authorized by the Little Chute Area School District Board of Education to govern two charter schools in the Little Chute Area School District; the Flex Academy a K-8 virtual school, and the Little Chute Career Pathways Academy a 9-12 project-based school that focuses on manufacturing and health care career pathways. The Little Chute Governance Council is composed of seven to eleven voting members. Each member serves a three year term and may serve a maximum of two terms. The Council’s role is to provide academic, fiscal, and fundraising oversight as it upholds the mission and vision of both schools. The Council serves in an advisory capacity to the LCASD charter schools. The Governance Council meets eight to ten times annually. In addition to these meetings Council members may be required to serve on Council committees as requested by the Council President.
