The Governing Body
Criterion for CAIS/WASC Self-Study
The governing body (1) sets policy consistent with the school’s purpose (2)
delegates implementation to the head of school; (3) ensures the fiscal stability of the
school through financial oversight and fundraising; and (4) monitors results
Standards to Be Applied:
1. The governing body actively supports the policies and philosophy of the school.
2. The governing body ensures that the purposes of the school are being met.
3. The governing body sets and reviews policies
4. The governing body is appropriately informed of the school-wide learning expectations.
5. The governing body understands its responsibility to support the head of school
and respect the boundaries that separate the board and administrative roles.
