local school matters limited by the state legislature, the courts, and the will
of the people as expressed in School District elections. The Board of Education takes action on matters only in formal session with a quorum of members present. The Board President serves as the spokesperson for the School Board’s position on all items related to the public schools.
The Board of Education is empowered to select the Superintendent of Schools as its chief executive officer to administer the operations of the schools.
