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.
