DESCRIPTION
| Like a board orientation between two
covers, Trustee Handbook is an invaluable
tool for making you a more effective
guardian of your independent school’s
well-being, today and tomorrow. |
The new edition of the NAIS Trustee Handbook provides a detailed overview of all school board roles and responsibilities. It includes updates in the following areas:
- The increasing demand for accountability and transparency from governments, foundations,
accreditors, donors, parents, etc.;
- Developing and reviewing policy;
- Strategy making/planning;
- Transitioning to a new head of school;
- Organizing an effective board;
- Complying with NAIS’s Principles of Good Practice for boards; and
- Other resources for boards.
There are also case studies to spark board thinking; sample forms, including a due-diligence checklist for the audit committee; and a survey to assess your board’s willingness to perform its most important duties.
