The Executive Committee conducts a monthly conference call to plan the monthly Board meeting agendas. In an emergency, if the full Board cannot be assembled, the Executive Committee may meet. Rules for such circumstances are outlined in the by-laws. The Executive Committee acts as a sounding board for the Head of School and oversees his/her annual evaluation.

The Building Committee oversees and liaises on matters of facility maintenance, strategic planning, improvements, and expansion. It works with the Finance Committee to manage capital expenditures and, in the case of capital campaigns, with the Development Committee.

The Committee on Trustees plans for trustee succession, including new trustee recruitment, cultivation, and orientation. Its role expands to include professional development for trustees on trusteeship and best practices, and trustee self-evaluation oversight.

The Diversity Committee is made up of Trustees, Parents, and Faculty. Its current goal is to audit our current practices and curriculum through use of the AIM Survey developed by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). We will review the results, make recommendations for change, and create an action plan that will be shared with the entire community for feedback and conversation.

The Finance Committee meets on a seasonal schedule aligned with the school's audit and budget processes, and at other times of the year as needed. Its functions include drafting the school budget for Board approval, updating the Board regarding the financial health of the school, reviewing insurance plans, addressing financial infrastructure, and strategic planning for the school’s financial health.

The Marketing Committee works to protect and expand the school’s brand. It determines the school’s key messages, marketing goals, and strategies. It oversees the school’s web presence and assists in the planning and design of multimedia marketing tools and advertising/marketing campaigns. It develops and supports strategic recruitment and enrollment initiatives. The Marketing Committee meets weekly when school is in session.

The Development committee sets the annual goals for fund-raising and monitors all fund-raising activities of the school to ensure that they meet those goals. The committee also takes the lead in educating trustees about their role in fund-raising and fund-raising techniques and involves them in the fund-raising process.  At Red Oaks, two important Development activities are the Annual Fund and the spring fund-raising event.

The Annual Fund sub-committee will plan for, launch and manage the Annual Fund, including producing supporting materials, communications and videos, manage outreach calling strategies, monitor and manage progress toward meeting annual goal, and recognizing those who donate. They will also develop campaigns within the Annual Fund as appropriate.

The Event committee is responsible for setting the budget and financial goals for the event, often a reception and auction, and working with a group of parents and other trustees to plan and implement tall details and aspects of the event.
