Express and represent the view of the school district community on educational issues. Provide equal educational opportunities for every child in accordance with state and federal statues. Members of the School Board are elected by you to represent your interests in determining how our schools will be operated. The Board establishes policies on everything from curriculum to athletic programs, and these policies are carried out by the superintendent of schools. Board members must stand for election every three years.
Meetings are open to the public.
This is an informal setting to encourage open dialogue between the School Board and its constituents. The regular business meeting begins at 7 p.m. Members of the public still have the opportunity to address the full School Board in this more formal setting, but must limit their comments to items that appear on that evening's agenda. Comments from delegations must be addressed to the entire board and not to specific Board members or administrators. The speaker may or may not get an immediate answer to questions that are posed, depending on the complexity of the issue. Meeting agendas are prepared by the superintendent and board chair, with assistance from staff and board members.
