Association

The OCA Association is the governing body of the school. The Association is made up of parents, school employees, and others who meet the requirements for membership. Parents and employees are NOT automatic members of the Association. See membership requirements below.

The Association meets annually in February to elect board members, approve the planning budget for the following year, receive reports, and transact any other necessary business. There is also a regularly scheduled meeting in the Fall to approve the working budget.

Other Association meetings may be called with notice during the year. At any meeting, fifty percent of the Association membership constitutes a quorum. Robert's Rules of Order guides parliamentary procedure.

OCA families and employees may become members of the Association if they:

1. Are 18 years of age or older
2. Make an annual contribution totaling $25 or more to the Association by the time of each annual meeting and request membership in writing
3. Have at least one child enrolled or are employed by OCA at the time of the meeting
4. Subscribe annually in writing to Article I of the bylaws (Statement of Faith)

Membership in the Association may also be obtained by a person* who:

2. Contributes $100 or more to the Association by the time of each annual meeting and requests membership in writing
3. Subscribes annually in writing to Article I of the bylaws (Statement of Faith)

* A church may also become a member of the Association by appointing one person who meets these criteria.
