STM Announces New Board of Trustees

The High School of Saint Thomas More, a high school conducted by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Peoria, has announced a new Board of Trustees to serve during the 2011-2012 academic year.

Transition to this new Board of Trustees is the result of a recommendation of the two-year strategic planning initiative of the Diocese of Peoria for its Catholic schools conducted by Meitler Consultants, Inc., of Hales Corners, Wisconsin. The study recommended this new structure to enhance the involvement of the local Catholic community in the school and to invest more authority and responsibility in local governance. Under the newly adopted governance structure, the Board of trustees will have greater jurisdiction in policy decisions with certain select powers reserved for the Pastors’ Board. The new Board of Trustees is comprised of 18 appointed members with four ex-officio members designated by the Diocese of Peoria.
