Academic Council
As a site-based managed school, Oceana has a system of shared leadership where faculty, staff, students, and parents participate in major academic and policy decisions. This is mainly done through our Academic Council (an expanded version of which serves as our School Site Council.
The Academic Council meets weekly to oversee the academic program, make major policy decisions, allocate site-based funds, advise on hiring and staffing, and more. Membership consists of the Principal, five teachers, a classified employee, two students, and a parent. Except for the principal, AC members are elected by their respective constituencies.
The current members are:
- Facilitator: Tony Marelich
- Recorder: Jeannette Herbert
- Principal Maritza Torres
- Student Rep: Alex Ha
- Student Rep: Tatum Pon
- Graham Cruickshank
- Nancy Murphy
- Corazon Quinay
- Coreen Hartig
- Family Representatives: Charlotte Allen and Veronica Brooks
Meetings are held Thursdays in room 207 from 3:20 - 5:15 PM. Anyone is welcome to attend, but only AC members can vote.
