Congratulations to four ACS parents who were elected to serve on Atlantic Christian’s Board of Directors at the May 23 Annual Meeting of the Atlantic Christian School Association.

Current Board Chair Doug Pearson and Board member Kris Jacoby were re-elected to the Board and ACS parents Cherie Burgan and Jennifer DiMaio were selected to serve as new Board members. The school’s 2015-2016 Annual Report was also distributed to the some 70 parents, faculty, and staff who attended the Annual Meeting which was held in the school gymnasium.  Click here for the school’s 2015-2016 Annual Report.

Burgan and DiMaio will begin their new three-year terms in July, serving along with Jacoby, Pearson, and four other Board members. The functions of the Board are to set the vision for the school through short- and long-range strategic planning, to employ and oversee the work of the Chief School Administrator, and to develop school polices and monitor their implementation.

Burgan has been an Egg Harbor Township police officer for the past 15 years. She and her husband Ray have two children, Hazel and Vaughn, who attend ACS. She grew up in Sculville Bible Church and she and her family now worship at Fusion Church.  DiMaio brings an educational perspective to the Board, as she has served as a math teacher at Egg Harbor Township High School for the past 16 years. She and her husband James have three daughters, two of whom, Annalena and Rebecca, attend ACS and they are involved in the ministry at Linwood Community Church.

The Annual Meeting opened with a devotion by Board Chair Doug Pearson after which the Association members gathered in small groups to pray for the school and God’s continued guidance and blessing. Other highlights of the Association meeting included presentations by Chief School Administrator Karen Oblen, Parent Teacher Fellowship President Terry Vogel, Board Treasurer Christian Loeb, and Director of Finance Kelly Flynn. The Association members also nominated Steve Breunig, Eric Hoover, and Paul Vogel to serve on the Board’s 2016-2017 Nominating Committee.
