What We Do

The School Committee’s primary duty and responsibility shall be to ensure the School remains faithful to the highest demands of both the Mission and the academic community.  The School Committee, as a group or individually, shall not be involved with the day-to-day operation of the School, but shall be responsible for the following:

• Establishing policies and academic goals and objectives for the School, and an organizational structure of the School to provide clear delineation of authority and proper reporting procedures from the School to the Mission.

• Monitoring the progress of the School in carrying out its policies, goals, and budgets.

• Hiring and being responsible for the care, support, and evaluation of the Headmaster.

• Preparing an annual School operating budget, reflecting tuition policy and budgeted expenditures for School and School-related programs, for submission to and ultimate approval by the Bishop’s Committee.

• Establishing fundraising policy for the School, and supervising all School-related fundraising activities.

• Maintaining effective communication with the faculty, parents, Bishop’s Committee, Church members, and the community-at-large.

• Assuring that the physical plant is adequate for the School’s programs, and that adequate reserves are established and maintained for the maintenance and improvement of the physical plant.

• Exercising such authority as may be required (consistent with the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church and of the Diocese, the policies established by the Bishop’s Committee, and the law) for the proper and efficient operation of the School.
