Sabot Board of Trustees

The Board's Role

The Sabot School Board of Directors is the guardian of the school’s mission and establishes policies, plans, and strategic goals that reinforce that mission. The Board works with the Head of School and Administration to advance long-range and strategic issues, and the Administration leads the daily operations of the school. The Board, acting as a whole, makes any major decisions, but the Board fulfills its duties and accomplishes its work through Committees. The Board often invites non-Board members to serve on Committees in order to increase effectiveness and expand expertise.

Grant Shivelight, Board Chair

Grant is an operations director at Jacobs engineering with 15 years of experience in construction and engineering services management. Additionally, he spends time in his workshop designing and building furniture. Grant holds a B.A. in Philosophy from the Thomas Moore College of Liberal Arts.


As the newly appointed Chair of the board, he is excited for the opportunity to serve Sabot as the school moves into its next chapter. Grant and Meg’s daughter Solace is in the seventh grade.
