Board of Trustees
Da Vinci Academy is an independent
school and a non-profit 501c(3) organization governed by a
volunteer Board of Trustees. Decision-making at the highest
level resides with the Board. The Board focuses particularly
on long-term planning, managing the school's financial health, and
evaluating the head of school.
The Da Vinci Academy Board of
Trustees meets monthly during the school year and periodically over
the summer. Board committees, whose membership includes
non-trustees, meet on a regular basis. Board membership is
balanced between current and alumni parents, community members from
outside Da Vinci, and a faculty representative. New trustees
are usually researched, nominated, and voted upon for membership
based on the Board's need for particular expertise such as
education, legal, financial, marketing, technology, and
development.
