Board of Trustees
The Erie Day School Board of Trustees serves as the governing body of the school, working in close collaboration with the Head of School to ensure the institution's ongoing success and sustainability. The Board is responsible for adopting the annual budget, safeguarding the school’s financial stability, supporting the continual enhancement of academic and extracurricular programs, and maintaining the school’s facilities and campus infrastructure.
In accordance with the Erie Day School Bylaws, the Board is composed of no fewer than 15 and no more than 22 Trustees, along with designated Ex-Officio, Emeriti, and Honorary Trustees. At least half of the Board members are current parents, ensuring that our community's voice is reflected in school leadership. Trustees, excluding Honorary, Ex-Officio, and Emeriti members, are elected to serve three-year terms.
