OUR BOARD
WOODLAWN TRUSTEES
The responsibilities of Woodlawn School’s Board of Trustees include: affirming and upholding the Mission of the School, establishing school policies, selecting the Head of School, approving campaign goals for annual giving and special capital campaigns, and approving the annual budget.
Members of Woodlawn’s Board of Trustees are elected by their peers at an annual meeting. Members are elected to serve four-year terms and may serve two successive terms. Volunteers fill all board positions. Trustees are carefully selected based on demonstrated service to the school and clear commitment to Woodlawn’s goals and philosophies. The Board is composed of current Woodlawn parents, Woodlawn alumni parents, and community members who are not Woodlawn parents.
