The Board of Education is a seven-member legislative body elected by residents of the school district.  The board includes a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and three trustees.  These positions are elected annually by board members at the first (organizational) meeting in July.  The school board is responsible for local school matters established by the State Legislature and the State Board of Education.  The school board determines general policies for the management, care, and control of the district’s schools and programs.  The school board delegates authority to the superintendent and administrative staff to operate the schools according to these policies.
