THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOL BOARD

THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOL BOARD

The National School Boards Association declares the fundamental role of school boards is “to work with their communities to improve student achievement in their local public schools.” 

 
The board supports improved student outcomes by creating and sustaining the conditions that support excellent — and equitable — teaching and learning.
