Education Policy Questions
The role of school boards in education policy is to govern and oversee the local school district. They are responsible for making decisions and setting policies that affect the overall direction and operation of the schools within their jurisdiction. This includes making decisions on curriculum, hiring and evaluating school personnel, setting budgets, and ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations. School boards also serve as a link between the community and the schools, representing the interests and concerns of parents, students, and other stakeholders.
