Eligibility: TCS Directors and Administrators must have been parent or legal guardian members of TCS for at least one year. Only U.S. citizens, permanent residents or other legal residents in the United States of America will be eligible to hold office. The schedule of nomination and election are as follow:

The other one is the candidate qualification form. The information provided will help the nomination committee to confirm the candidacy.

To ensure the smooth election, the BOD elected the nomination committee to accept nomination forms and check the candidacy. They are Nianhong Chen (chair), Xiaodong Yu and Manqing Chu. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to contact anyone of them.

Our school is a self-governance community organization. All directors are volunteers to serve our students and teachers. We encourage any interested new member to join the management team of the school, so our school can be better!

Best regards,
