Three Essential District Roles:
The school board works collaboratively with the school district staff to see that the best possible education is provided to district students. Three distinct role are required within the district to make this happen:
The Board: visionary, strategic, role: set the direction: a strategic charge or target for change, and hold the system accountable for results
Administration: tactical role: create and launch plans to meet the strategic charge Teachers and other staff: operational role carry out the plans to achieve the intended results
All three of these roles have to be aligned and integrated. None of the roles can be successful without the others. The Superintendent is the link between the roles, working with the Board to set direction, with administration to see that plans are developed in alignment with the vision, and with district staff to see that the district work is carried out in ways that will achieve the ultimate intended result.
When and how to contact the School Board
You should contact the school board when you have concerns or questions about the district’s policies, budget, school programs, or safety issues. It's also a good idea to reach out if you want to participate in public meetings, share ideas, or provide feedback about your child’s school. For specific personal issues, like student discipline or individual school matters, it's often best to first contact the school or district administration.
