Description
In the changing tides of the country, the economy, and the private school industry, do you find that your Head of School, Board Chair or Board Members seek greater involvement in the details of discounting tuition? Heads and Boards are not traditionally the ones doing the financial aid calculations, but what do they need to know in order to support a thriving financial aid program at your school? Find out how School Leadership can provide the necessary “big picture” direction without “getting in the weeds.” What if board members want to get in the weeds of financial aid? What is best practice and how do you keep board members at a high level? What are strategies to partner with your Head of School in this process? This session will examine different aspects of aid information sharing, appropriate levels of involvement and best practice roles and responsibilities with Boards as well as Heads of School.
