Dear ISD Community, 

I am pleased to be writing to you in my first month as Chair of the ISD Board of Trustees and would like to begin by thanking Jennifer Grant for her tremendous leadership as the immediate past Chair. Jennifer remains as a valued Trustee on the Board, but is stepping down from the role of Chair as she will be out of Dakar for 3 months.

The Trustees are a committed and enthusiastic group of parents and legal guardians of ISD students who volunteer their time in this governance role for the school. Please do feel free to talk with us or contact us at boardbox@isd.sn if you have a question, concern or are interested in learning how parents can be involved on Board committees.
Current Trustees are:
Marie Blanchard, Thiaba Camara Sy, Jennifer Davis, James Garry, Louisa Gibbs, Jennifer Grant, Papa Ndiaye, Linda Percy and Jonathan Scott.

The ISD Board of Trustees will hold its November monthly meeting on Tuesday, 15 November 2016 at 6.00pm, in the ISD Conference room (top floor, ISD Admin building). Refreshments are served at 5:30pm.

ISD Board meetings are open to all ISD parents and faculty, who may attend as observers. Below is the Agenda for the meeting.

Sincerely,
Louisa Gibbs, Chair, ISD Board of Trustees
