Board of Trustees

Welcome to the Hillel School Board of Trustees web-link. The purpose of this site is to provide information about the Board of Trustees and its goals.

 The Board of Trustees is comprised of twenty to twenty-five people consisting of community members who are non-parents and parents. Trustees are nominated to the Board by the Committee on Trustees and elected to their positions at annual meeting held at the end of the school year. A trustee serves a renewable two year term. The Board of Trustees meets every other month beginning in August. The Board has several sub-committees which meet in addition to this schedule. The subcommittees consist of the following: Executive, Building and Grounds, Ways and Means, Finance, Financial Aid, Committee on Trustees, School Enrichment, and Chair’s advisory committee.

 The Board has four principle responsibilities. The first is to organize and manage itself so as to fulfill its duties to the school. The second is to plan, develop, and establish policy, and assess the performance of the school according to the strategic plan. The third is the responsibility for the school’s long term financial condition and its physical plant. Finally, the Board hires the Head of school and works cooperatively with that person.  Each year the Board must re-evaluate its goals and vision with the Head of school, so that Hillel can continue to grow and prosper.

Please stay tuned to our website for more info on the board and upcoming news.

Sincerely,

Trish Shaw, DVM

President of Hillel
