49. School Board Policies
Policy: It is a crucial school board role in our system of educational
governance. Like Congress, state legislatures, and city or county
councils, school boards establish the direction and structure of
their school districts by adopting policies through the authority
granted by state legislatures. School board policies have the force
of law equal to statutes or ordinances. Policies establish directions
for the district; they set the goals, assign authority, and establish
controls that make school governance and management possible.
Policies are the means by which educators are accountable to the
public. National School Board Association
