Trustees are elected by the voters to establish the
educational policies of the district. The Superintendent
is employed to administer the schools and carry out
these policies with the aid of the professional staff.
The Superintendent informs and advises the Board
on education-related matters and recommends action
based on the input of staff and often with the guidance
of parents, community and other sources.
Board members are elected at-large to four-year terms
and receive minimum compensation as prescribed by state
law. Board elections are held on the first Tuesday
in April of odd-numbered years (2007, 2009, etc.).
All meetings, by law, are open to the public. Closed
sessions are permitted to allow Board members to address
such matters as collective bargaining, confidential
student or personnel actions, and items related to
litigation.
Regular meetings are televised live and replayed
on Glendale’s cable Channel 15.
The president is the presiding officer and has identical
voting rights as the remainder of the Board. Three
trustees constitute a quorum and may take action on
most items.
A high school student elected by the district’s
Student Advisory Council also serves on the Board of
Education in a non-voting capacity. |
