Meet the Board

With the interests of students in mind, the Board represents the views of the community in matters affecting education.

It also determines educational standards, adopts policies for the administration of the school system, employs a superintendent, authorizes the appointment of staff members, approves curriculum, adopts a budget to maintain and operate the schools, and levies taxes to support the budget. Although the Board has final control over many local school matters, it is also subject to state and federal laws. Committees accomplish much of the necessary work before the Board arrives at final decisions. Like regular board meetings, committee meetings are meetings held in public. Interested citizens may better understand the background of board decisions by observing these meetings. Committees have included: Buildings and Grounds; Community Relations; Education; Employee Relations; Finance; and Policy.
