School Board
Members of the KCSA School Board play a vital role in continued excellence at Kalamazoo Christian. Each member is elected to a 3-year term at an annual Association Meeting in the spring and each member serves on one of four Board Subcommittees. This is where the bulk of the work takes place during the school year to contribute to the operation of our school. We would love to encourage your involvement. Please call the Association Office at 269-381-2044 to find out more.
If you would like to present a topic at one of our board meetings, you must email the board at board@kcsa.org the topic you would like to discuss one week prior to the board meeting you would like to attend.
