Founding Board. Elevated Charter School’s founding board is a team of diverse members with experience and expertise in charter school set up and administration, school accreditation, teaching and curriculum development, online education, use of technology in K-12 education, non-profit organizations, business administration, banking, and state compliance. This founding board oversees the application and initial establishment of the school. In addition to professional and volunteer experience, all founding board members are parents who have raised or currently have their own children in K-12 public education and also have experience with homeschooling and charter schools. We united with a passion for establishing an accessible high quality education for all students in Utah.
