Governance

Board of Directors

Graded is governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Directors, whose members may serve up to four two-year terms. Established in 1931, the Board sets the school’s fiduciary policies, annual budget, and fundraising goals in consultation with the Superintendent and the Leadership Learning Team. The Board stewards the school’s financial resources to meet current needs while protecting and strengthening the endowment for future generations. It is also responsible for appointing and evaluating the Superintendent.
