Board of Governors

Board of Governors

The Board of Governors considers policy development and fiduciary responsibilities to be its primary functions.

Policies are those outcomes of planning and evaluation, which guide the Board of Governors in its operation and are guides for action by the Head of School.  Policies also act as a means of communication with the community, staff, and students relative to the  School’s Mission and Vision and other Guiding Statements and to its philosophy and objectives and Board decisions.

The Board of Governors ensures the financial stability of IPS through sound financial planning and the monitoring of the annual budget.
