The school board, district staff, and our community are partners on behalf of the communities' children and their education. Schools and our community nourish each other; active citizen interest guarantees public schools' excellence. To support this partnership, the school board encourages community members to attend each month’s board meetings, which are typically scheduled twice a month with some variation. If you have a disability which makes it difficult to participate in a board meeting, please notify the superintendent's office three working days in advance of a regular meeting so accommodations may be arranged.Voters elect five board members to represent the public’s views on how education should be governed locally. Each member serves a six-year term. Together, directors are responsible for establishing the district’s goals and policies. The board is the governing body that approves the district budget. The superintendent is the board’s chief executive officer. The superintendent and district staff carry out the board decisions.
