School Board of Trustees

Mulberry School is a non-profi t 501(c) 3 corporation. The Board of Trustees provides strategic planning and makes school policy in accordance with Mulberry School's Mission Statement. The Board also hires and conducts performance reviews for the Head of School. It is the Head of School's responsibility to hire and supervise staff, implement curriculum, oversee the facility, and implement Board policy.

The Board consists of voting Trustees, who are nominated and elected by the Board, as well as three non-voting Trustees: the Head of School and two representatives chosen by the parents:  the Elementary and Preschool Presidents. Committees of the Board may be permanent standing committees or ad-hoc committees created and dissolved as necessary. Committees report to the Board and make recommendations to the Board.  There are four standing Board committees: the Governance Committee, the Finance and Audit Committee, the Leadership Committee, and the Development Committee.  Members of the Mulberry community may be invited to serve on ad-hoc committees, the Finance and Audit Committee, or the Development Committee.

The Board meets regularly during the year at Mulberry School. Every Mulberry parent is invited to attend the open portion of each meeting. The agenda and meeting date are posted on the Board's bulletin board near the hanging files. Board meeting minutes are stored in the school office after they are approved by the Board, and any parent may ask to read them.

Parent Assembly Committee

All parents are automatically members of the Parent Assembly Committee and elect the officers: Elementary President, Elementary Vice President, Preschool President, Preschool Vice President, Community Builder.  The Head of School and the Director of Operations are non-voting members.  Monthly meetings are an invaluable source of information. At these meetings you will learn how other parents participate in the infrastructure of Mulberry.

The PAC is a major influence in decision making at the school and establishes policy regarding parent participation. The role of the PAC is to oversee the All School, Elementary and Preschool Committees staffed by parent volunteers.  These Committees support and enrich the experience of the Mulberry School by providing school-wide events, celebrations, fundraisers, curriculum support, maintenance and assistance with day-to-day school experiences.
