Governing Board

One of the primary functions of the Governing Board is the policy-making aspects of our school, adopting general policies or to act directly in matters not already covered by policy. They are also charged with putting existing Board policy in operation, specific functions are usually delegated by the Board to its executive officer, the Superintendent.

Our Goals

  • Develop a strategic plan to support every District school’s efforts to meet or exceed state and federal standards for academic achievement; and to provide a safe, secure and positive environment.
  • Attract, hire, develop, retain, and hold accountable effective personnel; and identify, recognize and reward employees who excel in the production of a good student.
  • Promote and support effective communication between the Board, District employees, parents, students and the community to improve the flow of information and to improve understanding.
  • Improve District budgeting and financial resources by seeking new funding sources.
  • Provide the necessary and appropriate services to all eligible students, and improve extracurricular activities for all district students.
  • That all board members continue with professional growth as board members by attending ASBA sponsored trainings/conferences.

Board Meetings

Our regularly scheduled board meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday of each calendar month. However, regular meetings may be rescheduled or canceled by agreement of a majority of the Board.
