Forward-Thinking Legal Guidance: Governance
YM&C’s dedicated attorneys are pillars of guidance for boards in California’s independent and private schools. We offer counsel on pivotal matters, from corporate entity establishment and maintenance to board composition, federal and state tax law compliance, and best practices in board governance. Our expertise lies in addressing the distinctive hurdles faced by educational boards, from defining the board’s role vis-à-vis the school’s administration to effectively managing dual responsibilities, like being both a parent and trustee. We also emphasize open and effective communication with the broader community served by the institution.
