Leadership
As the district’s elected leaders, Trustees represent community expectations as they chart the direction of educational programs and services and establish the standard by which success is measured.
Trustees employ the superintendent, approve the budget and monitor expenditures, set the tax rate, and may call for a bond or tax rate election. The Board also establishes policies for operating the district and ensuring its financial viability.
Members of the Board serve three year staggered terms with elections being held each year on the uniform election date in May.
