Cedar Valley Catholic Schools Board of Education

The board is comprised of dedicated individuals who want the best educational experience for our students. Board members include a pastor, two laypersons and a representative director of religious education from each of our supporting parishes: Blessed Sacrament, Queen of Peace, Sacred Heart, St. Edward and St. Patrick. The CVCS chief administrator, business manager and the principal from each school are ad-hoc members. Board membership is voluntary.

​

The board typically meets the first Thursday of each month; sometimes there are special meetings and/or meetings scheduled at different times. Board meetings are held at Blessed Maria Assunta Pallotta Middle School in the art room (first floor). The room has easy access by the middle school gymnasium.

Visitors are welcome at the meetings. Guests requesting to address the board need to contact the CVCS Office at 319-232-1422 or Tanya Cutsforth tcutsforth@cvcatholic.org.  Guests will need to provide their name and topic for discussion to be added to the agenda.  Addressing the board will be limited to 2 minutes per guest.  There will be a 30 minute maximum time allowance per meeting.  The board will not respond and will take all comments under advisement.
