What is the work of the Colegio Roosevelt Board of Directors?The Work of the Board is to safeguard the school’s mission, steward the school’s resources with the highest level of accountability and transparency, and partner with and hold the superintendent accountable for the oversight, execution, and administration of the school's mission, strategic initiatives, and operations.
The Board oversees a number of committees to help advance the work of the Board and to accomplish its annual goals. Some Board committees host community volunteers to help thought leadership in the work to advance the school forward. How is the Board structured?Board Meetings occur nine times each year.

Task Forces
The board also has a few task forces in place to support its agility in responding to the needs of the community during periods of high communication demand or when a vulnerability in the environment arises. These tasks forces are represented by members of the board and professional service teams such as lawyers, communication firms, and consultants. Task Forces do not meet regularly and are only called upon as needed.
Principles of Good Practice
At Colegio Roosevelt, the Board of Directors’ work aligns with the Principles of Good Practice (PGP) outlined by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) as guideposts for best governance standards for independent school boards.
The PGPs reinforce that the Board is the guardian of the school’s mission, and that it is the Board’s responsibility to ensure the mission is relevant and vital to the community it serves, and to monitor the school's success in fulfilling it.
