Board of Trustees

Redwood Day School is a non-profit institution governed by a committed volunteer Board of Trustees.

The Redwood Day School Board of Trustees establishes policies for the operation of the School and sees that those policies are executed properly. To implement these policies, the Board is responsible for monitoring and supporting the Head of School, for approving and monitoring the school’s annual budget (which includes setting tuition and arranging for sufficient fundraising for operations and capital projects), and for maintaining the long-term health of the institution. The Board of Trustees is currently composed of eighteen individuals who are elected for three-year terms, as well as two non-voting Faculty Trustees who serve two-year terms and two ex officio Trustees -- the Head of School and the Parents' and Guardians' Association President. Each Trustee serves on at least one of the Board’s committees: Executive, Finance, Strategic Planning, Buildings and Grounds, Trustees, or Advancement.
