Board of Trustees

Evan Weinberger, Board Chair

As an NAIS member and ISAS-accredited independent school, Jack Segal Academy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization governed by an independent, self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. Trustees determine the Segal Academy vision and strategic goals, and act as fiduciaries for future generations of Segal students—exercising oversight of the school’s financial health, approving the school’s annual budget, and overseeing the school’s physical assets and fundraising efforts. Importantly, the Board selects, evaluates, and supports the Head of School, who is responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the school, including curriculum, admissions, disciplinary, and personnel decisions to name a few. The trustees act as stewards of the school while serving as ambassadors of the Jack Segal Academy mission. Our board committees are a great way to become involved in our school.

    BYDS is a place…
    Where curiosity rules. Where children learn to honor timeless traditions and think for themselves. Where they are encouraged to ask bold questions, confront paradox and discover new connections. Welcome to a place that links heritage and history and students yearn to engage the world.

    My favorite subject is Judaic Studies. Look – I’ve got friends at every school around this area, but the way we do Judaics makes Beth Yeshurun perfect for me.
    The teachers I’ve had have all made learning fun…They simplify the more complicated concepts and make them easier to understand.

    BYDS more than educated me, it helped shape my character. Jewish day school’s influence reaches far beyond the years we spend at school.
