Hudson Montessori School Board of Trustees is responsible for the strategic direction of the school.
Management of the school is delegated to the Head of School with the Board providing appropriate
guidance and direction in support of the Head’s efforts.

The Board currently consists of ten individuals, selected to provide a wide range of talents in various disciplines: financial, legal, human resources, business management, maintenance & construction, marketing, education and public relations. All potential Board members are required to demonstrate a high level of commitment to the school prior to being invited to serve on the Board. Board members serve a two year term, with a maximum total tenure of six years.

The focus of the Board is the long term success of Hudson Montessori School. The Board created a seven year Strategic Plan in May of 2002, and will annually update this plan to reflect the ever changing educational/business environment in which the school operates. Each year prior to the start of school, the Board and Head hold a retreat to review the Strategic Plan, modify the plan as necessary, and create a one year Operating Plan for both the Board and the Head.

While the focus is long term, the Hudson Montessori Board meets monthly (except in July) to hold the members and the Head accountable for those items that must be completed pursuant to their yearly Operating Plans. Financial Statements are also reviewed monthly, and issues facing the school are discussed to gain the best possible decision.

Only Board members and the Head may attend the monthly meetings so that confidentiality can be maintained.

Parents may address the Board concerning its activities by writing the Board President, JoAnna Shore, at
info@hudsonmontessori.org. The Board also allocates 30 minutes prior to each Board meeting for parents to address the Board. All questions concerning the management of the school must be brought to the attention of the Head of School.
