Board of Education Overview

A five-member Board of Education governs the District. Members are elected at-large and may serve up to two consecutive four-year terms.  The Board is accessible to the community and integrates public input into its deliberations and decisions. It acts in the best interest of all students by reviewing and approving the District budget, authorizing expenditures, employing and evaluating the Superintendent, and setting the District’s vision, goals, and policies, in alignment with the California Education Code.
