Nursery School Advisory Board

The Nursery School Advisory Board of St. Andrew's was created in January, 1991 to oversee the conduct and the financial affairs of St. Andrew's Nursery School and Kindergarten. Meetings are held monthly. The Board consists of committees including Long Range Planning, Scholarship/Outreach, Facilities Management and Nominating. A copy of the bylaws of the Board is available for review in the school office. Any questions regarding the Nursery School Advisory Board should be forwarded to the school director.

The primary function of the Nursery School Advisory Board is to oversee the conduct of business and financial affairs of the school. Authority for the direction of school life—including the academic, moral, physical aspects, and authority for the conduct of business and financial affairs—is delegated by the rector with the advice and consent of the vestry to the board of trustees of the school.
