Cypress School of San Francisco is governed by an independent, self-perpetuating Board of Trustees.
The Board determines CSSF's mission, strategic goals, and policy positions. The Board also acts as fiduciary for future generations of CSSF children and families—exercising oversight of the school’s financial health, approving the school’s annual budget, and overseeing the school’s physical assets and fundraising. Importantly, the board selects, evaluates, and supports the Head of School. The Board does not get involved in the day-to-day affairs of the school, disciplinary or personnel issues, or admissions decisions—which are the responsibility of the Head of School. In short, the trustees act as stewards of the school, while serving as ambassadors of CSSF’s mission.
