Parents Maumee Valley parents have two support organizations, the Parent’s Association and Boosters. The MVPA spearheads a number of community building events throughout the school year and they help new families acclimate to the school. It does not have a significant fundraising function, but instead stresses friend-raising as a goal. Boosters supports school sports by promoting school spirit, organizing tailgating events, and running concessions at athletic events. Parents report a very high degree of satisfaction with the school and the education their children receive. The individual attention afforded students, support they receive from teachers, and the warm atmosphere at the school all contribute to the feelings of confidence and surety placed in the school. Faculty The school’s faculty is extremely strong, very professional, and loyal to the school. There is a good mix of veterans, mid-career teachers, and relatively young faculty members among the teachers at Maumee Valley. Most of the teachers have some Toledo roots or connection. A challenge exists in finding a more diverse faculty, one that will match the diversity of the student body. Administration In addition to the head of school, there are four division heads, chief finance officer, admissions director, marketing director, development director, curriculum director, and an athletic director. A number of support personnel fill out the offices creating a fairly complex organizational chart. Gary Boehm, the retiring head, has done an excellent job of working to get the right people in the right positions. Board The MVCDS board has 21 members, most of whom are current or past parents. There are several alums in the group and there is good diversity. The head and the board have worked closely together to move the school forward programmatically and financially. There has been strong board leadership over the years and the trustees understand their role and boundaries between policy and practice.
