Roles and Responsibilities of the Board

The operation of the school district at the local level is a shared activity between the Board of Trustees and the Superintendent. 

• Your school board governs the district, but it does so with the advice of the superintendent.
• The superintendent manages the district, but he or she must do so with the oversight and management of the board, and within the framework of policies and priorities your board adopts.

As a board, their responsibilities include:

• Adopt goals and priorities and monitor success
• Adopt policies and review for effectiveness
• Hire and evaluate the superintendent
• Adopt a budget and set a tax rate
• Communicate with the community
