The ninth edition includes updates in the following areas: • The increasing demand for accountability and transparency from governments, foundations, accreditors, parents, etc. • Developing and reviewing policy • Strategy making/planning • Transitioning to a new head of school • Organizing an effective board • Complying with NAIS’s Principles of Good Practice for Boards of Trustees This edition of NAIS’s Trustee Handbook has been adapted for trustees who serve on school boards throughout the world. Although trustees at international schools share much in common with those at NAIS schools, international school boards are usually elected, their members are more likely to serve shorter terms, and their host countries are likely to consider institutional self-governance an anomaly. This handbook addresses challenges such as these, while providing an overview of the principles and practices of good trusteeship that are common to all independent school trustees. Also available to download as a pdf file for a fee.
