agenda of items to report on to the Head; only on occasion, the Head will determine the subject of these one-to-one sessions and will direct the meeting accordingly.
Division of Responsibilities between Head, Board, Admin Team, and Faculty As the Head of School is invested with operational final authority, and the Board’s role, beyond its fiduciary responsibility, is to consult and advise the Head, and to oversee the strategic planning process, Levine’s lines of authority are always very clear. The Head sits on every board committee, in addition to a Board committee called “HOSEC” which is the Head of School Evaluation Committee, which serves as a support role to the Head. HOSEC meets monthly, and the Head determines the agendas for most of the meetings. This committee also conducts the Head’s evaluation on an annual basis, a process that includes the Head’s submission of goals for each year that will go through several drafts and several meetings before they are aired fully in front of the full board at the annual Board Orientation Meeting, in August. Also, the HOSEC board members will typically conduct surveys —such as a 360 survey of the Head’s direc t reports; a survey designed to secure input from board members; and also they will factor into their evaluation report
