Our Trustees

The Board of Education, in accordance with the School Act, is a policy-making body whose primary function is to engage their communities in building and maintaining a school system that reflects local priorities, values and expectations all towards improving student achievement. The board guides the work of the school district by setting a strategic plan, governance policy and the annual budget.
