Board of Education

The district is governed by a Board of Education consisting of seven members elected for overlapping four-year terms. Elections are held in April in odd-numbered years.

The Board's powers and duties include the broad authority to adopt and enforce all necessary policies for the management and governance of the public schools within the District.

Official action by Board members must occur at a duly called and legally conducted meeting having the majority quorum of Board Members for the purpose of discussing district business.

The superintendent of schools is selected by the Board and serves as the chief executive officer responsible for the administration and management of the district schools in accordance with Board policies and directives and State and Federal Law.
