West Side Board of Trustees
West Side Montessori is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) corporation governed by a Board of Trustees. Each Trustee serves a three-year term and is eligible for re-election for an additional three-year term. Trustees are a mixture of current parents (not more than 60%), former parents, alumni, and persons with no previous affiliation. The Board of Trustees meets as needed to conduct planning and take action on committee proposals. The various committees of the Board meet frequently.
The Board of Trustees exists to make decisions today which will ensure a continuing high quality education consistent with the West Side Montessori mission now and for future generations. The Board shall devote its primary interest to planning, finance, and the evaluation of the Head of School. The Board shall focus upon actions that will have long term impact rather than focusing on the daily operations of the school. The Board shall strive to keep the school: mission driven, appropriately marketed, and well supplied with “profiled” board candidates.
