Board of Education

The school district is governed by the school board elected by the district’s registered voters. The board is authorized to:

• Establish policies that direct the school district
• Employ and evaluate the superintendent
• Negotiate with employee groups to determine salaries and benefits
• Approve the annual budget
• Authorize elections on bond proposals and other issues
• Determine the long-range direction of the district
• Communicate with the community

The School Board acts officially only as a corporate group. An individual Board member has no authority outside of a formally called Board meeting.
