Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees of Katz Hillel Day School of Boca Raton is the school’s governing body. As the governing body, the Board is charged with strategic planning, evaluating the school’s administration, establishing the school’s policies, and setting the annual operating budget.

Each trustee member serves voluntarily and is expected to assist in his/her function with the school’s best interest in mind. Personal agendas are not addressed by the Board of Trustees.

The president of the Board of Trustees is the direct line of communication between the Board of Trustees and the administration of the school. Board of Trustee members are not able to assist individual parents with personal issues. Please refer to the Parent/Teacher Manual for more information regarding the school’s operational structure so that you can better understand the management and governance of our school.

All parents in the school are invited and encouraged to join a committee and become involved in Katz Hillel Day School of Boca Raton. This is the best way to learn about the wonderful things that take place throughout the year.
