School Board Committees
Updated March 2024
Yinghua’s board committees align with our Strategic Plan. The Committee Summary Table includes each committee’s mission, membership criteria, and current members. In accordance with school bylaws, committees do not have decision-making authority. Rather, these active working groups conduct research and make recommendations to the School Board at Regular Meetings of the Board.
Parents, teachers, staff, and outside experts are encouraged to apply to join School Board Committees as their time and talents permit. If you are interested in volunteering for a specific School Board Committee, please contact the chair of that committee! You are also welcome to attend committee meetings as a member of the public. Please note that Personnel Committee meetings can only be attended by members of the School Board.
Committees
Development: The Development Committee seeks committee members with tactical experience in data management and interest in campaign planning and building organizational fundraising capacity.
Finance: The Finance and Facilities Committee seeks members with accounting and architecture skills, expertise in property management, and familiarity with finance law.
Governance: Most of the work of the Governance Committee centers on close reading of school policies. The committee welcomes new members with legal or policy review experience and new members who have experience in nonprofit board recruitment.
Personnel: Members of this committee must be School Board members.
Note: The Facilities Committee was folded into the Finance Committee effective Fall 2015.
