Board
Our Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the school fulfills its mission. As a body, it is legally responsible for the School. According to the National Association of Independent School’s Principles of Good Practice, a Board has the following responsibilities:
- The Board prepares a clear statement of the School’s mission and objectives.
- The Board reviews and maintains bylaws and establishes policies and plans consistent with the mission.
- The Board is accountable for the financial well-being of the School, including capital assets, operating budgets, fundraising, and endowment.
- The Board selects, supports, and nurtures the Head of School.
- The Board, or a committee of the Board, conducts a written annual evaluation of the performance of the Head ad works with the Head to establish goals for the following year.
- The Board evaluates itself annually and establishes goals for the following year.
- The Board keeps full and accurate records of its meetings, committees, and policies.
- The Board works to ensure all its members are actively involved in the work of the Board and its committees.
- The composition of the Board reflects a balance of expertise and perspectives needed to achieve the mission of the School.
- The Board develops itself through new trustee orientation, ongoing education, and leadership succession planning.
- The Board assures compliance with applicable laws and regulations and minimizes exposure to legal action.
