development and ongoing review of the school charter
monitoring and reviewing your school’s progress
putting in place a policy framework
employing the principal
managing assets

The Board of Trustees is the body that is responsible for governing your school
They employ the staff
They set a budget to spend the money provided by the Government for your school.
They are responsible for maintaining the buildings and grounds at your children’s school.
They are responsible for determining the character and nature of your local school.
Trustees do not fix the leaking roof - but they are responsible for seeing that it is done. Trustees do not teach the children - but they are responsible for ensuring that they are taught. Trustees may not necessarily personally spend the school’s money - but they approve the budget that determines how it will be spent.
Trustees must act on behalf of the community and they have a responsibility to consult with the community and to respond to the needs and wishes of their community.
