The Board, along with central administration, typically meets twice a month to conduct the public business of the school district. An agenda is published prior to the public meetings, and residents are provided with an opportunity to address the trustees during them. The vested responsibility of the Board includes appointing the Superintendent of Schools to operate and conduct the daily affairs of the school district. Furthermore, according to state law, the Board is authorized to review and adopt policies which are necessary in order to provide students with the public education to which they are entitled. Additionally, the Board members adopt a levy each year, based upon the recommendation of the superintendent, which is the tax revenue for the annual proposed school budget. They are also responsible for the ratification of collective bargaining agreements with employees, the management of district facilities, instruction, and meeting with state and federal officials to advocate for public education initiatives. The Board trustees volunteer their service to the Islip community and participate in numerous community organizations and committees. Mission Statement The Islip Board of Education, in partnership with the community, will empower all students to achieve excellence and reach their full potential. Learner-focused instruction will provide the whole child with the opportunity to acquire the skills necessary to become a productive and successful member of society. Board of Education Goals Through a three to five year plan, the Board of Education will address the following goals and objectives in a collaborative manner: In order to provide a foundation for success, the district's operations and the budget will be developed to support high quality instructional programs and services in a safe, secure learning environment that reflects both our academic and financial priorities. The Board of Education will review and develop policies that improve the overall operating success of the Islip school system. For the respect of the community, as a Board, we will plan and effectively execute Board of Education meetings in a transparent and timely fashion. The Board will then provide the community with accurate, relevant information. The Board will continue, through the legislative committee, to advocate and collaborate with others within the Islip community and our educational partners to support public education locally, regionally, and nationally.
