On behalf of the community, set appropriate tax levels for both debt and operations to provide the level of education supported by the community . . .
The Board must always remember they are representatives of our community, and this is perhaps most important when tax levels are set. It is the responsibility of the Board to ensure that their decisions are reflective of the community and properly reflect the desire for a top quality education for our children balanced with appropriate tax levels.
Ensure appropriate allocation of resources . . .
Every year the Board reviews the administration request for the operating budget. The Board must ensure that resources are appropriately allocated, and through evaluation of forecasted revenues and proposed expenses, decide whether the administration's request is appropriate.
Act in a supervisory role and set job performance expectations for the Superintendent . . .
The Board is responsible for ensuring the superintendent is appropriately leading the district and delivering a safe and successful educational experience for the students of our district. The Board should clearly define and articulate metrics upon which the superintendent is evaluated, and ensure compensation is appropriate based on that evaluation.
