The Partnership's Board of Trustees provides guidance and advice to the Board of Directors. While it is primarily an advisory body, its members are often deeply involved in issues that support public education and the Partnership. Many of the trustees began their work with the Partnership as a member of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Trustees meets quarterly. Its meeting schedule can be found here as well as the by-laws that formally define its role.
