Providence Day’s Board of Trustees serves as stewards of the school who hold “in trust” its mission and reputation. As such, Trustees accept the obligation to not only preserve but also to advance the institution. Their work begins with the fiduciary expectations of duty (due diligence on financials), care (executing decisions by prudent standards), and obedience (to laws and bylaws). Beyond these duties, Trustees focus on policies and strategies that are future-focused, leaving daily operations to the Head of School. As with all nonprofit boards, the majority of the work takes place at the committee level. The Board of Trustee committees are Advancement, Buildings and Grounds, Finance, Investment, Risk and Audit, and Committee on Trustees. These groups study and assess in depth the needs, activities, and performance of the school and to make recommendations when planning, developing, and establishing policy in their respective areas to the full Board.
