Your Mount Baker
School Board of Directors is composed of five District citizens elected
by District voters for four-year terms. Board members serve in an
unpaid, voluntary capacity. Although directors are elected to specific
areas, they collectively represent the entire district.
Board authority is
established by the Washington State legislature. Your Board acts under
the direction and restrictions of the law. The Board’s legal
responsibilities are to:
 |
Establish general
policy for the school system; |
 |
Employ school
personnel upon recommendation of the superintendent; |
 |
Adopt and revise
the annual operating budget; |
 |
Inform the public
of the needs and progress of the educational system;
|
 |
Exercise the
legislative powers conferred or implied by the legislature in
administering school functions; |
 |
Select the
superintendent of schools. |
Regular Board meetings
are held on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays each month at 7 pm, usually at the
District Office. Specific locations are listed on monthly calendar
pages.
Meetings are open to
the public; the public is invited and encouraged to attend Board
meetings.
Summaries and minutes
of every School Board Meeting are posted on our web site.
