Alma del Mar Charter School

How Alma del Mar is governed and what its public records show.

Who decides for Alma del Mar?

An independent public charter governed by a volunteer board

Alma del Mar is a Massachusetts Commonwealth charter school, separate from the New Bedford School Committee. Its Board of Trustees sets direction and oversees legal and financial obligations. Trustees are volunteers serving three-year terms according to the school's official board page.

The Board of Trustees is the governing body

The official directory lists a chairperson and trustees; the public archive also shows Finance, Governance, Development, and Academic Excellence committees.

Families can see agendas and approved minutes

The BoardOnTrack archive publishes meeting pages, agendas, and minutes from September 2025 through June 2026.

Committees prepare work for the board

Finance records cover audits and budget-to-actuals; Academic Excellence records cover academic data, teacher qualifications, and curriculum priorities.

Public meeting records show what was posted, not every internal discussion or every school expense.
