  • Committee on Trustees (COT) Governance Review May 2018 in a March 2017 Letter to the Community, PEA Shared That in Response to R
    Committee on Trustees (COT) Governance Review May 2018 In a March 2017 letter to the community, PEA shared that in response to recommendations made by Choate Hall & Stewart, the trustees would be “conducting a further governance review, via the Committee on Trustees, to research best practices in school governance and benchmark PEA against other institutions. Topics to be reviewed include the composition and culture of the Trustees, length of terms, ongoing Trustee education, and the structure and frequency of Trustee meetings. Actions taken as a result of this review will be shared with the community when completed.” We are providing an update of the work to date, as the review process is still ongoing. Governance at Phillips Exeter Academy lies with the Trustees. Drawing upon the expertise of a diverse body of alumni volunteers, the Trustees oversee the administration of the school and the management of its financial and physical resources. The Trustees work closely with the principal and administrators, who lead the day-to-day operations of the Academy, and with the faculty, who focus on matters related to the curriculum and the student experience. While each group has its own role and responsibilities, all of us work together informed by a collaborative spirit and a shared passion for Exeter’s educational mission, a belief in the potential for transformation and discovery within all of our students, and a vision for Exeter’s ongoing excellence and leadership in secondary school education. Over the course of the past year, the COT has reviewed best practices, shared and compared governance structures with the members of the Eight Schools Association (Andover, Choate Rosemary Hall, Deerfield, Hotchkiss, Lawrenceville, Northfield Mount Hermon, St.
