The Board of Trustees is the governing body of SYV Family School, a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation. The Board of Trustees includes parents of students (past and present), community members, and the Head of School. In addition to establishing broad policies, the Board has the fiduciary responsibility for the continued financial stability and long-term viability of the School.
