Board of Trustees

Laurence School is governed by a Board of Trustees, which has historically been composed of parents, past parents, alumni, and friends of the school. The majority of trustees are typically current parents.

The Board establishes policies aligned with the school’s mission and works closely with the Head of School and Administration to ensure their implementation. However, the Board does not participate in the school’s daily operations or admissions decisions.

In addition to policy oversight, the Board sets the financial direction for the school's annual operations, future development, and long-term sustainability. New trustees are elected by the Board and generally serve a three-year term.

The Board’s standing committees include Executive, Policies and Procedures, CAIS, Finance, Development, Global Garden, Trustees, Facilities, and Strategic Planning. Trustees serve on a volunteer basis and receive no compensation.
