Dear Hariharasudhan
It is not mandatory to have trustees involvement in the school management committee…. But just to have a better control, it is a practice to have a one or more representatives of trustees in the SMC.

Dear Hariharasudhan
The involvement of trustees are not mandatory in the school management committee. It all depends on the trustee to have as many representatives they want in the SMC. But certain mandatory members required in school management committee cannot be substituted by these trustees. Like
Secretary – By default, the principal of the school
Parent member
Teacher member
Principal of other school’s etc
Rafique
