Board of Education

The government of the school is vested in the Board of Education.

The Board of Education represents the people of the District. They function as a goal setting, policy making and evaluating body. The Board has jurisdiction over the District, its programs, employees, pupils, building sites and equipment. 

Board members are elected by the public to work for the best education interest of all of its students.
