THE SCHOOL BOARD’S ROLE
 
The School Board is comprised of seven (7) members elected by district residents, for overlapping terms of three years.  The Board of Education is both an agent of the state and a representative body of the people of the district.  The Board derives its authority from the State Constitution, State Statutes, and the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education.
 
In accordance with Education Law, the Board of Education adopts policies, rules, and bylaws they deem will best meet the statutory responsibilities and secure the best educational results for the students in their charge.  See Education Law §1709 for a comprehensive list of all Board of Education duties.
 
The Board appoints the Superintendent of Schools to provide the educational leadership, expertise, and knowledge to lead the district in the direction established by the Board.  The Superintendent oversees the day-to-day operation of the school system and implements the priorities and policies set by the Board.  Board members volunteer their service to the community and are not financially compensated.  Voting for school board positions takes place on the same day as the budget vote — the third Tuesday in May.
