Parent Co-operative
GreenMount is based on a co-op model with parents actively participating in the school. Each parent is responsible for donating 40 hours of their time to the school each year, and generally signs up for a specific ongoing job. The jobs can range from serving on the GreenMount school board, to mopping the gym floor once a month, to teaching afterschool classes. Past classes include sewing, painting, hula hoop, and web page design.
