SAEL Board of Directors

Board  Meeting Packets with Agendas

Sierra Academy of Expeditionary Learning operates as its own LEA. The governing board consists of a representative group of community members, including family members of current and graduated students. Sierra Academy of Expeditionary Learning is authorized by the Nevada Joint Union High School District and there is a representative from the district on the Board.

*Past packets and agendas can also be provided by emailing SAELinfo@sierraacademy.net or calling the main office at 530-268-2200.

We are an independent, public charter high school.

We collaborate with our authorizers, the Nevada Joint Union High School District, but our board operates independently.
