SCHOOL BOARDS |
|
The Board of Education is made up of seven unsalaried
citizens elected to serve a three-year term. The board's powers and duties are
derived from the New York State Constitution, the laws of New York State and the
rulings of the New York State Commissioner of Education. The
Board of Education's main areas of responsibility are:
-
Establish district policies.
-
Develop an annual budget for public approval.
-
Vote on the Superintendent's recommendations on personnel
matters and contracts.
-
Review courses of study and textbooks.
-
Act as a communication link between residents and the
Superintendent.
No person or group of persons acts in the name of the
board. All motions require a majority vote before the Board can act. A board
member is in an official capacity only during an official Board meeting. The Board employs a Superintendent who is responsible for
the day-to-day operation of the district and administration of Board policies.
The Superintendent develops policies, programs and plans for Board action.
