We express our deep gratitude to the nine courageous Trustees for their persistence, devotion, and sacrifice for the school. We likewise thank all Nardin stakeholders who came together, including the faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni, donors, and friends, for their perseverance and commitment.

Statement From the Nardin Academy Board of Trustees

The Nardin Academy Board of Trustees has come together and agreed upon the following measures that will enable the school to move forward as a united community, focused on stability, renewal, healing, and growth.
 
These include:
Dr. Sandra Betters has informed the Nardin Academy Board of Trustees that for the betterment of all within the Nardin community, including students and employees, she will be stepping down from her role as President of Nardin Academy as of June 30. Dr. Betters would like to thank her team and the Daughters for their support and ongoing commitment to Nardin Academy and its students.
In the coming days and weeks, the Board will be working collaboratively on a transition plan. This will include the hiring of an interim President as well as building out, and implementing, the school’s “Plan for Healing and Growth” which we believe will enable the school to harness and activate our collective love for Nardin as a beacon for Catholic values and educational excellence and strengthen the school for current and future generations.
In accordance with these measures, nine members of the Nardin Board of Trustees have agreed to step aside from the Board. We are grateful for the dedication and commitment that they have shown to Nardin, and we thank them for their service to the school.
 
As a Board, we remain united in our unwavering commitment to serve as custodians of the school’s fiduciary and governance oversight, stewards of its mission values, and champions for the legacy of our founders, the Daughters of the Heart of Mary. We firmly believe that these decisions are what is best and right for Nardin Academy and the entire Nardin community, especially its current and future students.
