The Board is guided by the ISB Charter. Below is a summary of the School Board’s responsibilities and member composition.

The responsibility and functions of the School Board are:
  • Writing and overseeing school Policy
  • Employment and evaluation of the Director
  • Financial oversight
  • Preparation of School Budget
  • Elections of School Board
  • Amendments to the Charter
  • Other matters not delegated to the association by the Charter

Board Meetings: The Board meetings may be Open Sessions, Special Meetings, or Executive Sessions.
 
Open Sessions are held at least two times every school year. Open sessions are open to all members of the Association and other interested persons.
 
Special Meetings may be called at any time by the Chair, by the Secretary upon the written request of four (4) or more Board members, or upon receipt of a petition signed by thirty (30) or more voting members of the Association with such petition stating the subject(s) to be addressed.
Special Meetings are usually open to all members of the Association and other interested persons.
 
The Board holds executive sessions to discuss sensitive matters the disclosure of which would not be in the interest of individuals concerned or of the School as a whole.
