ISB Board of Trustees

The ISB Board of Trustees is a 12-member group of volunteer parents, elected by the ISB Association of Parents (all parents with children attending ISB automatically belong to the Association), who oversee the operation of ISB.

According to the By-Laws of the ISB Association of Parents, the Board of Trustees has four key responsibilities:

• To establish policy – the Board accomplishes this by creating, updating, and maintaining the Policy Manual. Additionally, they task the Head of School with implementing Board policy throughout the school.
• The Board is responsible to select, evaluate and support the Head of School.
• The Board takes fiscal responsibility for the School by approving the budget, setting fees and making well-informed, timely, and prudent and decisions regarding major financial commitments.
• The Board advises the Head of School on the appointments of high level administrators and gives their input regarding the Head of School's organizational chart and who should fill top administrative positions

The Board holds regular, monthly meetings to discuss various issues that arise throughout the year. Ultimately, the goal of the meetings is to develop policies through which these issues can be effectively addressed by ISB's administration. Some issues, for example, concern educational operations; some deal with facilities, others with finance

Five Board committees have been established to research the issues and prepare policy recommendations. One Board member serves as the chair of each committee and is assisted by a representative from the school administration.
