Board Responsibilities
Guided by best practice standards of our accrediting body NWAIS (Northwest Association of Independent Schools), and membership association, NAIS (National Association of Independent Schools), the UCDS Board is the guardian of the school’s mission. It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that the mission is relevant and vital to the community it serves and to monitor the success of the school in fulfilling its mission.
Election to the UCDS Board of Trustees carries with it a responsibility of stewardship. By definition, Trustees are the custodians of the school’s integrity and fiduciary responsibilities. They hold in trust the school’s reputation as created by its founders, and as developed by those who have previously shaped the school. Current Trustees accept the obligation to preserve and evolve this institution.
Trustees are called upon to contribute their time, thought, and energy, as well as financial resources to support the viability and growth of the school.
