children, the school board’s fundamental role is
keeping the district focused on the learning and
achievement of all students. The board accomplishes
this by:

- Setting the strategic direction of the district for staff and the community
- Listening to every view in the community to inform their deliberations
- Evaluating and adopting policies consistent with the district vision
- Equitably allocating district resources based on the district’s vision and goals, and monitoring the district’s fiscal health
- Operating openly and honestly
- Performing regular and timely evaluations of the superintendent’s and the district’s effectiveness
- Representing and protecting the district’s interests at the local, state, and federal levels
