Board of Trustees

The Advancement Committee assists the School in raising financial contributions for new facilities, endowments, and annual giving. The Advancement Committee has oversight of capital campaigns and of each year’s Annual Fund. It approves mailings to solicit gifts and supervises Annual Reports that disclose the gifts from all constituencies and thank donors.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for the financial reporting process, the completion of the audit process, the management of risk, and the School's process for monitoring compliance with laws, regulations, and fiduciary obligations.

The Facilities Planning Committee oversees all physical facilities of the School. The committee approves all major expenditures for new campus resources and changes in present facilities. When appropriate, the Facilities Planning Committee takes its recommendations to the Finance/Investments Committee to be certain that funding is available for any project before it is recommended for approval by the full Board.

The Finance & Investments Committee oversees the financial condition of the School. It approves all major expenditures as well as the annual budget submitted to it by the Head of School and the Chief Financial Officer. The Finance/Investments Committee recommends to the full Board the proposed tuitions each year for approval. This committee oversees the School’s investments and reviews its annual financial audit. In addition, the committee reviews the recommendations of auditors and oversees the implementation of policies designed to financially strengthen the School.

The Strategic Planning Committee, in concert with senior administrators, oversees the Strategic Plan. The committee monitors the implementation of the School’s plan and makes periodic reports to the Board on the plan’s status, including, but not limited to, constituency feedback and timing of the next process. Additionally, the Strategic Planning Committee educates the Board on particular challenges and successes related to the plan and its implementation.

The Trusteeship Committee recruits and trains new trustees as well as ensures the staffing of the Board’s Standing Committees by both trustees and non-trustee parents. The Trusteeship Committee exists to ensure the future leadership of the Board, including successful succession of the Presidency and Vice Presidencies. The Committee recommends trustees for election, renewal, and advisory status.
