About the Board

The Board of Trustees of the San Francisco Day School is responsible for establishing policies for the operation of the School; for monitoring and supporting the head of School; for approving and monitoring the School’s annual budget, which includes setting tuition and arranging for fundraising sufficient to cover the gap between tuition income and costs; and for maintaining the long-term health of the School.

Trustees are elected for three-year terms and may serve a maximum of two consecutive terms. Board meetings are held monthly during the school year.

The Board committees include Buildings & Grounds, Diversity, Development, Education, Finance, Head Support and Evaluation, Trustees, and Breakthrough San Francisco. Other ad hoc committees are created as needed.
