Board of Directors
Magellan International School's Board of Directors is comprised of members of the Austin community as well as the school community dedicated to ensuring its long-term, strategic growth. The Board's scope of responsibilities for the school include setting the strategic plan, ensuring its financial health, approving operating and capital budgets, and providing oversight of the Head of School.
Each year the school solicits nominations for new members to its Board. We encourage you to nominate anyone in our community you believe would be an effective and committed member. New board member nominations are solicited throughout the year and voted on by the full Board at the beginning of each school year for staggered three year terms. The nomination process typically involves several meetings with existing board members. Nominations are closed for the 23-24 school year.
Questions regarding the Board can be directed to board.questions@magellanschool.org.
