Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is the guardian of the School’s mission and philosophy. The Board is organized on a non-stock, directorship basis, under the Michigan Non-Profit Corporation Act. Articles of Incorporation and corporate bylaws describe and guide board operations. The members of the Board of Trustees elect officers to govern the management of the Board. The Board’s responsibilities specifically include hiring and evaluation of the Head of School, approving the annual budget, and strategic planning. While the Board oversees the management of the business and affairs of the School, the Board is careful not to impinge upon the roles of the school’s administrators, and acts as a support to, and resource, for the Head of School and administration.

The Board has regular meetings on the 4th Monday in September, November, January, March and the Monday following the School’s June Commencement ceremonies. The annual schedule of board meetings appears on the school calendar as well on the webpage. Board meeting agendas will also be posted on (the community) webpage in advance of each regular board meeting. Except for limited confidential matters, board meetings are open to the community. At appropriate times and in the Chair’s discretion, non-board members are given an opportunity to ask questions or make comments on agenda matters. Matters introduced from the floor will be referred to a board committee, if appropriate, or to the administrative staff. A community member wishing to place an item on the Board’s agenda should contact the Board Chair Secretary, or the Head’s office at least two weeks in advance of a regularly scheduled board meeting.
