| The Port of Los Angeles High School Board of Trustees is the organized group of volunteers who, collectively, are legally and morally accountable to the community for the health, vitality, and effectiveness of POLAHS. The Board's primary role is governance which encompasses legal responsibilities, general oversight, planning and policy-making, and meeting fiduciary requirements. The Board only has authority when it votes as a group. No single member has authority for the Board as a whole. The Board must ensure the POLAHS' compliance with all applicable state and federal laws. It must also ensure that the Board itself is operating in accordance with the rules set out by all applicable California laws and regulations. The current Board members were selected for their knowledge and education, finance, business and maritime connections as well as for their commitment to the mission and goals of POLAHS. Guiding Principles for Board Members Duty of Care The Board member owes the duty to exercise reasonable care when he or she makes a decision as a steward of the Port of Los Angeles High School. Duty of Loyalty A Board member must give undivided allegiance when making decisions affecting the Port of Los Angeles High School. This means that a Board member can never use information obtained as a member for personal gain, but must act in the best interest of the organization. Duty of Obedience This requires a Board member to be faithful to the school's mission. He/She must act in a way that is consistent with the central goals of the school. The basis of the rule lies in the public's trust that the school will manage funds to fulfill its mission. 2009/10 Board of Trustees   Nick Tonsich | PresidentNick Tonsich has a wealth of knowledge in Port related matters based on years of experience in the practice of Environmental and Maritime Law.
