Board

Friends School of Minnesota is a nonprofit corporation. The board of directors of Friends School of Minnesota is called the School Committee, and is a group of at least 12 but not more than 18 members, at least one-third of whom are Quaker.

The School Committee adopts school policies and is the legal body ultimately responsible for the financial health and operation of the school.

FSMN is a member of the Friends Council on Education (FCE), the national organization of Quaker schools. FCE helps Quaker schools continue to explore and strengthen their Quaker identity through FCE’s Self-Study and Membership Renewal Process, which FSMN conducted in 2018-19.  Members of Twin Cities Friends Meeting, Minneapolis Friends Meeting, Prospect Hill Friends Meeting and Cannon Valley Friends Meeting have served on the School Committee.
