The TBA Governing Board is the policy-making body for TBA within the context of the Education Reform Act of 1993, Boston Public School regulations, Pilot School enabling language contained in Boston Teachers Union contracts with BPS, and its own by-laws.
The Board’s most important function is to annually work with the Headmaster to set his/her goals and then (in collaboration with the appropriate Boston Public School Deputy Superintendent) evaluate performance towards those goals. When necessary, the Board directs the selection process for a new Headmaster (subject to BPS approval and hiring). In addition, the Board helps with fundraising and external relationships. Board members also annually review and approve the school’s budget and the school’s mission statement and strategic plans such as the School Improvement Plan, School Quality Review, accreditation material, etc.
