The School Board members are trustees of their school. They are responsible to make sure the school remains faithful to its mission, is strong financially, and make sure the Head of School leads well.
It is vital that the Head of School and School Board have a strong relationship. The Head of School is the only employee of the board and is responsible to administer the policies established by the board.
School Boards need to think long-term. They should make decisions that will serve their grandchildren. They have to faithfully look ahead to the future and building a strong, faithful, excellent school. It is easy to get caught up in the tyranny of the urgent and the events of today, but the board has to think and plan strategically for the long-term health of the school.
The chair of the board is responsible to lead the board well and keep the board focused. The Head of School can be a great asset for the board and identify consultants who can help with board development. The Head of School can also make sure the board remains informed on current trends in education.
