Serving the Scarsdale and Edgemont School Districts, the STI is governed by a Policy Board comprised of teachers chosen by their respective Teacher Associations and includes at least one representative of each building.
Additional members of the Policy Board include administrators, community representatives, a Parent Teacher Council president, a higher education representative, and a member of the Board of Education of each participating district. The Teachers Association presidents also serve as members of the Policy Board.
The Policy Board selects a full-time Director to oversee the operations of the Institute.
The Policy Board convenes six times per year. In addition subcommittees (detailed below) meet as needed and report back to the larger Policy Board.
STI Policy Board membership includes educators and community members.
Teachers (members of STA or ETA) must comprise at least 51% of our membership.
