About the Board of Trustees

In alignment with the NAIS (National Association of Independent Schools) Principles of Good Practice, the primary focus of the Board of Trustees is on long-range and strategic issues, not the daily operations of the School. 
The Board is a steward of the School’s mission, ensuring the vision and strategic goals are relevant and fulfilled within the community. This includes overseeing the annual operating budget, capital assets, and endowment to ensure financial sustainability for the institution and actively aiding the School in fundraising. 
The Field School Board of Trustees has no fewer than 11 and no more than 25 individuals serving a minimum of one three-year term. The Field Parents Association (FPA) President and Head of School serve as non-voting ex officio members.
