The Shoreline School Board is a local board, established by the Washington State Legislature. Although each of the five members comes from a different geographical area in the district, all board members are elected by all Shoreline voters.
Board members serve a four-year term.
The board's primary task is to formulate and evaluate all policies necessary for the operation of the school district. The Shoreline School Board encourages the public to take an active part in the educational affairs of the district and extends an invitation to the community to attend school board meetings. All board meetings are open to the public, with the exception of executive sessions where personnel, property acquisition or sales, and collective bargaining matters are discussed. During the school year, the board usually meets on the first and third Mondays of the month in the Board Room at the Shoreline Center. The board sets a summer meeting schedule in late May.
