The members of the Board of Trustees of the Day School hold a threefold duty:

Our Board members represent all facets of relationship to the school — parents, grandparents and interested community members. They meet monthly as a whole group and additionally on subcommittees regarding strategic planning, finance and endowments. Ultimately, they bear the fiduciary responsibility for the integrity of the school as an institution serving the Jewish community of Minneapolis.
