Board members serve two-year terms which start in August and participate in plenary meetings on the third Monday of every other month in addition to serving on at least one committee. The board is self-perpetuating with new members nominated by the Governance Committee and are elected by the board. If you would like to serve on the board or a committee, please contact the Head of School or email the board at board@crmschool.org.
