Board of Trustees

Boards of trustees govern all state and integrated schools in New Zealand. The boards are made up of elected parent and community volunteers, the school principal and a staff representative.

Boards of trustees are then accountable for meeting the objectives in the school charter and for managing the funds they receive from the government to run the school.
