Governance : Live Oak School is governed by a Board of Trustees.
Responsibilities
The Board's primary responsibilities are to ensure the school's financial health, to work with the Head of School in developing a long-term strategic plan for the school and to support and evaluate the Head of School's development and performance. The Board approves the annual operating budget, takes a leadership role in fundraising and participates in planning and maintaining the school's physical plant.
Roles
Parent trustees are elected to no more than two consecutive, three-year terms. Faculty and staff trustees are elected to two-year terms. Community trustees, including alumni, are appointed to one-year, renewable terms based on their expertise, perspective and the needs of the school. The Head of School serves as an ex officio, non-voting member of the Board. Most Board work is accomplished through committees, which are staffed by trustees and other members of the Live Oak community. Current Board committees include: Building and Grounds, Development, Diversity, Executive, Finance, Marketing and Trustee.
