The Board of Trustees is the official governing body of the school made up of at least seven (7) and up to eleven (11) volunteers, elected at a June Assembly meeting. The Board of Trustees is responsible for creating school policy and ensuring that a quality education is delivered in alignment with the charter. The board welcomes all to its public monthly meetings and its committee meetings, the minutes which, once approved, will be posted on the website and on the bulletin board by Karen's desk.

The four functions of a board of trustees as outlined by the NJ School Boards Association are to:

• Develop a budget.
• To provide guidance through policy.
  
  • The board sets policy or the WHAT (vision, goals, needs, and expectations).
  • The director provides the administration or the HOW (hiring, evaluating, purchasing, assigning, implementing, coaching, teaching, testing, assessing).
• To provide management oversight (hiring and evaluating the director, approving the curriculum, etc.).
• To ensure two-way communication with administration, staff, parents, and within the board.
