What Do Board Members Do?

A school board, working with its community, has four major leadership responsibilities and an unlimited amount of decisions to make on a wide range of issues.

Leadership Responsibilities:

1. To envision the district’s education future and set goals and define strategies to guide the district toward that vision.
2. To hire a superintendent who will effectively implement the board’s policies and manage the district to accomplish its goals.
3. To monitor and assess the district’s performance and to keep the public informed and engaged.
4. To advocate for students and public schools within the community, state and national levels.
