School Governance & Board of Directors
Committed to Accountability, Equity, and Excellence
At Mission Achievement and Success (MAS) Charter School, our Governing Board ensures that the school fulfills its mission: to prepare students for success in college and life through a rigorous, college-preparatory education in a safe and engaging environment.
As a state-authorized public charter school, MAS is governed by a dedicated volunteer board that provides strategic oversight, fiscal accountability, and policy leadership. The board works in collaboration with school leadership to uphold the highest standards of educational quality, equity, and compliance.

MAS and Open Meetings Act Compliance
Transparency You Can Depend On
At MAS Charter School, transparency, accountability, and public trust are cornerstones of our governance. That’s why we fully comply with the New Mexico Open Meetings Act (OMA)—a state law that ensures the public has access to the decision-making processes of governmental and public institutions.
Under the Act, all meetings of the MAS Governing Board are open to the public, unless legally exempt. This includes regular monthly meetings, special meetings, and emergency sessions, all of which are publicly noticed in advance here on our website and open for participation either in person or via a remote access option. Agendas are posted on our website at least seventy-two (72) hours before regular meetings and are also available at our main administrative office.
Each year, the MAS Governing Board adopts a formal resolution to define what constitutes reasonable public notice, and to outline procedures for agenda access, accessibility accommodations, emergency meetings, and public input.
