Introduction
Serving on a
local school board has often been called “the toughest volunteer
job in America.” While it can be challenging at times, most
school directors will tell you there are great rewards in
helping students and giving back to your community.
The
contributions of each school director are critical to the
board’s overall effectiveness. This guide provides an overview
the requirements and responsibilities of school board service to
help you understand the important role each board member plays
in school governance. You will also see links below that point
to more in-depth resources.
Thank you
for considering school board service. Your interest in serving
your community and public education is appreciated.
