The school is approved by the State of Maryland and is accredited by and a member of the Association of Independent Maryland Schools (AIMS). The Board of Trustees is obligated to support and further the general direction and mission of the school. Specifically, the Board is responsible for focusing on three areas critical to the success of the School: it selects, evaluates, and fully supports the Head, to whom it delegates authority to manage the school; it develops broad institutional policies that guide the Head in running the school; and it is accountable for the financial well-being of the school. The Board meets monthly or as events require, and at least 50% of its members must be current Banner parents. Trustees also include community leaders, business owners, and others who bring their professional expertise and vision to the school. 2010-2011 Board of Trustees Joe Kilner, *President* Jeff Brightman, *Vice President* Gregory Snellings, Treasurer Alec Gregg, *Secretary* Scott Alexander Laura Better Mark Forseth Janice Gibson Joe Gillis Carol Goundry, President, Banner School Parents’ Organization (BSPO) LaVeer Jovel Stephen Parnes, Head of School Sonia Richardson Kristen Rowe Norene Wastler Joan Wicks General Powers The affairs of the corporation shall be managed by its Board of Trustees.
