The Work of the Board of Trustees

The  Board of Trustees works alongside the Head of School to craft and oversee the school’s statement of vision and its short and long-term strategic goals, review and support important school policies and plans, ensure resources are adequately provisioned and effectively managed for the short and long-term, establish and maintain bylaws and ensure the School’s compliance with applicable laws and regulation, and promote and advance the School’s mission. Trustees do not have authority over the day-to-day operations of the school.

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the academic year. In addition to attending Board meetings, members typically serve on two to three Board committees. Trustees are expected to contribute actively to the work of the Board, attend meetings, and provide guidance and expertise as needed. As leaders in the School community, Trustees are expected to support the School through their advocacy and ambassadorship, their time and expertise, and their philanthropic efforts.  

Trustees may serve up to two consecutive three-year terms, and the officers (Vice Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer) are elected each year. Board membership may include current parents, parents of alumni, alumni, and representatives from outside the Park community. In addition, the president of the Park Parents’ Association serves as a Trustee during their two-year term, as does a representative from the Park Alumni Association.
