What is the role of the school board?
According to Pennsylvania School Boards Association, school boards: • Establish a vision and goals for the school district that support the needs of students. • Hire and annually evaluate the superintendent and assistant superintendent. • Set and evaluate policies that define the expectations for the consistent day-to-day operations of the district. • Adopt a district budget that reflects the community’s educational values and student’s needs, balanced with the ability of the local taxpayers. • Fulfill key work of monitoring and evaluating student opportunity and achievement. • Approve the planned instruction (curriculum) describing what will be taught.Meeting Schedule
