2004 Outstanding Board Award

Ten of the 15 members of this 10-year-old advisory board are “discerned.” Understanding its role narrows its focus and leads to high productivity. Meetings are effective because most of the work is done at the committee level, and the board is very supportive of the administration and committed to the mission statement. Regular, effective communication with constituencies is a key to this board’s success. The strategic plan’s goals and priorities are established annually and updated periodically. The current update process includes surveys and focused discussion groups. Town hall meetings conducted semi-annually by the board are open to all school families. The Finance Committee formulates a 5-year forecast. The Development Committee is developing marketing and development plans and recommended the hiring of a development officer.
