School Board Candidates

The school board has two major roles: Representing the concerns of citizens and parents to the school administration, and  Representing the needs of the school district and the students back to citizens and parents.
 

The school board is not in charge of the district’s day-to-day operations; that job falls to the district’s superintendent, who is like the CEO of the district.

The school board sets the policies and goals for the district, while the superintendent implements those policies and works toward the goals.

School quality impacts community quality. Support for local public schools and children’s education impacts future adults who will live, work, and vote in your community.
