Governance at Colegio Roosevelt

Non-profit educational governance is an intentional practice that is developed over time through partnership with the Superintendent, guided by strategic initiatives and annual goals, reflected upon through an annual self-assessment process, carefully succession planning, and a well-developed onboarding and professional learning program.

What is the work of the Colegio Roosevelt Board of Directors?The Work of the Board is to safeguard the school’s mission, steward the school’s resources with the highest level of accountability and transparency, and partner with and hold the superintendent accountable for the oversight, execution, and administration of the school's mission, strategic initiatives, and operations.

The Board oversees a number of committees to help advance the work of the Board and to accomplish its annual goals. Some Board committees host community volunteers to help thought leadership in the work to advance the school forward. How is the Board structured?Board Meetings occur nine times each year. Board members commit to three year terms and these terms can be renewed up to three times. The Board accomplishes much of its work in its committees. These committees bring recommendations to the full Board for approval. The Board also has ad hoc committees that may operate for a limited period for a specific purpose. Committee membership is an annual commitment. In addition, the Board has an Executive Committee that includes the President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary.

Board committees are:

The Audit and Risk Committee

The committee will convene at least twice a year to coordinate the annual audit of the financial statements and the review of the risk matrix. The committee is responsible for recommending to the Board the third-party auditing firm to conduct the audit of the annual audited financial statements of the Instituto Educacional Franklin Delano Roosevelt and any other related entities, as directed by the Board.

The Audit committee, in coordination with the appropriate committee, may recommend to the Board, for approval, any additional areas for special audits. These special interim audits can be conducted in conjunction with the annual audit or scheduled for another time during the year. Finally, the Committee will periodically review Colegio Roosevelt’s risk matrix to implement preventive and responsive actions to mitigate risk and ensure a safer school and community.

The Buildings and Grounds Committee

The committee will review existing and long-range planning for all major maintenance and large construction projects, and make recommendations to the Board concerning these matters. Included in this is the leadership in master planning for the School. Any major change in the use of a building for other than its initial purpose will require prior approval by the Board of Directors.

The Committee on Trustees

The responsibilities of this committee will be:

Preserving institutional memory.
Recruiting and recommending new Trustee candidates.
Providing orientation for new Trustees.
Organizing retreats and professional development opportunities for the Board.
Presenting to the Board of Trustees procedures and protocol for self-management.
Advise the Board President concerning committee and subcommittee appointments.
Coordinating the evaluations of the Superintendent, the Board Chair, and the Board of Trustees.

The Finance Committee

This committee is chaired by the Board of Directors' Treasurer. It will meet prior to each month’s General Board Meeting. The Finance Committee will oversee all of Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s financial activities and make recommendations to the Board to ensure a financially sound educational institution. Its responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, recommendations on the annual Operational and Capital budgets, recommendations regarding the annual formats and schedules of financial reports to be presented to the Board by the administration, recommendations regarding the financial institutions used by the school, and other financial practices of FDR.

The Policy Committee

Its primary tasks will be to review school policy on an ongoing basis and to assist the Board of Directors or any Board Committee with policy-related matters. The committee will recommend the creation, modification or elimination of specific policies, but may not implement these changes on its own.

In accordance with FDR’s purpose of creating a Scholarship Program, FDR, acting as settlor, incorporated the “Roosevelt Scholarship Fund” trust, so that the resources destined to fund the education of its beneficiaries will be duly administered and secured by an independent and regulated third party (the trustee). The Scholarship Committee is the connection between the Roosevelt Scholarship Fund and its beneficiaries,

How is the Board of Directors of Colegio Roosevelt composed?Colegio Roosevelt has a 12-member board. Each member brings unique personal experiences from a diverse variety of professional backgrounds. The collective experience of the Board provides a comprehensive, overall perspective that supports the Superintendent and helps the School prosper.

In alignment with the pillars and priorities, the subcommittee reports to the board on the strategic goals that are emerging from the collaborative and community and assures there is mission and strategic alignment with the priorities. The sub-committee may recommend board goals and superintendent goals based on emerging strategic goals that address duties of care and strategic oversight with financial analysis, impact data, and measures (dashboards), programmatic developments, and staffing profiles.

Principles of Good Practice

At Colegio Roosevelt, the Board of Directors’ work aligns with the Principles of Good Practice (PGP) outlined by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) as guideposts for best governance standards for independent school boards.

The PGPs reinforce that the Board is the guardian of the school’s mission, and that it is the Board’s responsibility to ensure the mission is relevant and vital to the community it serves, and to monitor the school's success in fulfilling it.
