New Prairie United School Corporation At Large
Public schools are run, as the name implies, by the public.The voting public votes on, and essentially hires, their board of education. A board of education, some districts call it a school committee, is a group of three to seven elected officials who assume a leadership role in overseeing the academic, legal, and financial health of a school district.What does that entail? School boards are nothing less than the governing body of a school district. They are the bosses’ bosses representing the public interest and to this extent, they should serve the diverse values and needs of their community.Every district in the country has a board of education. Nationwide, school board members make up the largest group of elected officials in the country, totaling approximately 95,000 people. Aside from your child’s teacher, principal, and district superintendent, school board members have the greatest influence on your child’s education because they decide on how to spend a district’s public school funds and set its governing policies.
