Overview IDS Trustees are organized into a variety of committees to support the long term health of the school.  Standing committees include the Executive Committee, the Finance Committee, the Facilities Committee, the Committee on Trustees, and the Development Committee.  In a given year, ad-hoc committees or task forces may be formed to address take up specific projects.    Trustee Mike Garner discusses digital photography with 6th graders.   IDS Trustees share regular updates with the community via the Trustee Newsletter, beginning in September, 2011. During the 2010 - 2011 school year, IDS Trustees worked on task forces focused on marketing, preparing for the school's 50th Anniversary in 2011 - 2012, and refinancing/facility renewal.

	Part of the work that we face ahead involves extensive renovation of the exterior of some of our oldest buildings.  The flat-roofed buildings will be retrofitted with new roofs, new windows and a resurfaced exterior.  In addition, the bathrooms and locker rooms in the grade 3-5 corridor are being renovated.  The work is being funded by a loan from Liberty Bank that will also refinance the outstanding debt on the Galluzzo Performing Arts Center.  The facilities renewal and the financing work result from tremendous leadership from the Finance and Facilities Committees of our Board of Trustees.
