Chattahoochee Valley Educational Foundation Board of Trustees

Springwood School's Board of Trustees operates within a committee system consisting of the following committees: Executive; Finance; Audit; Recruitment and Retention; Technology; Building, Grounds and Transportation; and Athletic. The Board of Trustees views its primary function as: the establishment of philosophy, broad goals, and overall policies of the school; the employment and evaluation of the Headmaster to operate the school within those overall policies; and the preservation and enhancement of the assets of the school, including land, building, endowments, and income. Upon establishment of policy, the Board chooses not to become involved in the daily or administrative operation of the school; therefore, it directs all inquiries of this nature to the Headmaster and the staff.
