Purpose of the Board
The purpose of the Board is to review annually the programs of the

the adequacy of Academy facilities, and examines funding levels for
Academy programs. Annually, the Board submits a written report through

report provides detailed comments and recommendations regarding Academy
operations.

program activities to include developments, deliveries, staffing,
admissions, and strategic plan.
