The role of the board is to be governing body of the schools and educational programs in the district. It is our responsibility to ensure the proper use of the district resources so that our students receive a world class education. We help in the development and implementation of the strategic plan, develop, review and update policies within the district, and advocate for the needs of the district.
Schools in Wisconsin are subjected to the process described within this question. As a board member we are responsible for ensuring the fiscal responsibility of the funds that are available, approving budgets and requesting additional funds when necessary.
The curriculum is determined by school leadership and other staff licensed to be able to do so. Any school policies are developed in student and staff handbooks and reviewed and approved by the board.
The district has taken a number of steps to ensure the safety of our campus to including staff training, student drills, securing the campus and installing an updated camera system. We ultimately want our schools to be a place where students feel valued and safe and have taken many feasible steps to make that happen.
I encourage parental awareness of what their child is learning. If there is a time that something doesn't seem conducive to a valued well-rounded education, they should speak with the teacher and administration. In addition, any time new curriculum is introduced, it is brought before the board for approval. Those meetings are open to the public and parents should feel free to attend, hear the discussions around those selections and again forward any concerns they may have to the team.
