Consultative Board

The Consultative Board of Mohammed Schools is established to provide a body of supervision over education at a point as close to the parent, child and community as possible. It is a systemic body directed by the Atlanta Masjid of Al-Islam Majlis Ash Shura. The primary responsibility of the Consultative Board is to establish, clarify, and interpret policy ~or better said, to provide governance for Mohammed Schools.

The Consultative Board consists of seven voting members appointed by the Majlis Ashura of the Atlanta Masjid of Al-Islam, and three non-voting members to include the Director / Principal of Mohammed Schools, the President of the IPTSCA (Islamic Parent, Teacher, Student, Community Association), and a Recording Secretary.

The Consultative Board meets regularly on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month at the Atlanta Masjid at 6:30 PM. Its chair is appointed by the Majlis

Board Members have areas of focused attention in which they act as advisors and work closely with the School Director to plan, oversee, implement, critical activities of each of those areas. Those specific areas are:
➢ School Finance
➢ Plant & Facilities
➢ School Curriculum & Instructions
➢ Administration and Staff (Personnel)
➢ School Community Relations
➢ Media & Public Relations
➢ Alumni Affairs

The form of governing of both the Atlanta Masjid of Al-Islam and Mohammed Schools is Islamic Shura. Shura is generally defined as mutual consultation.
