Structure

Portland Cooperative School is a tax-exempt organization under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3).

The ongoing operations of PCS are the responsibility of the Board of Directors, which is comprised of elected representatives of its families (members).

PCS maintains an Advisory Board, which is intended to provide additional expertise and perspective to the PCS community. The Advisory Board counsels the Board of Directors on issues concerning the governance of our school.

PCS’s Executive Committee, composed of the Teacher-Administrator, a parent-member and a third member from outside the school, serves two main purposes: It is a consulting and advisory group for our teachers.  In addition, the Executive Committee oversees admissions and serves as a“wise elder.”
