Boards set high expectations and narrow the focus for improvement. District administrators
take direction from the school board and execute the vision of the board through daily
operations.
The system should be aligned to support leadership and direct resources to ensure student
success.
School boards use data to monitor progress toward goals and create accountability for
districts on behalf of students, families, and taxpayers.
Connection with stakeholders and representation of diverse community members help boards
understand and carryout the will of the constituents who elected them while still prioritizing the
best interests of students.
School boards serve as models for teamwork, collaboration, and commitment to continuous
improvement.
As elected officials, school board members serve a 4-year, unpaid term in their district. Board members come
together, from all walks of life, to work as a team to set a vision and communicate clear expectations for the
administrators leading school districts.
Thoughtful, diverse, collaborative school boards guide districts in creating
great public schools.
Your vote could mean the difference between a board that values and supports our community
schools and one that attacks them.
