Who serves on a school board?
Nostrana [21]
A school board is a legislative body of citizens called school directors, who are elected locally by the district's citizens. School board directors serve as agents of the state legislature. Each board consists of nine members who serve four-year terms of office, without pay. School directors, although locally elected, are really state officials, co-partners with the legislature. They are designated by school law to administer the school system in each district. In addition to the nine-member board, the board employs a lawyer to advise and administer school law, a secretary to maintain complete and accurate records of the school directors' meetings and other official business, and a treasurer who is in charge of the business and financial matters of the district. The board also appoints the superintendent. The superintendent serves as a non-voting member of the board and, along with an administrative team, acts as the professional resource for educational actions taken by the board.

Hope this helped!
Good day to you.
