[quote=Anonymous]At my kid's independent school, most of the board members are current parents. Others are parents of a alums or alums themselves. There is a governance committee that develops a state of potential new board members each year for the board to vote on and that governance committee is also made up almost entirely of current parents. So I think the interests of parents are pretty well represented on independent school boards. The boards themselves, beyond hiring and managing the head of school, should be mostly focused on ensuring that the school will thrive in the long run. The head of School thinks mostly about the day-to-day and the board thinks mostly about the future.[/quote]
