Trustees for the Mill Valley School District are volunteers elected by the district voters for a term of four years.  Elections for this unpaid position are held every other year in November.  The next election of Trustees is November 2007. 

Each Board Member acts as liaison to one of our schools.  This system helps facilitate communication between the Board and each school.  The Board welcomes dialogue with the community.

The role of the Board covers four broad areas of responsibility:

	Establishing a vision for the District
	Establishing an effective and efficient organizational structure
	Ensuring accountability
	Advocating on behalf of children and public education

In order to fulfill these responsibilities, the Board

	selects and evaluates the superintendent
	sets policy for hiring of personnel
	adopts and evaluates policies
	adopts and monitors curriculum
	adopts budgets and monitors the District's fiscal accountability for the long term
	negotiates and adopts collective bargaining agreements
	creates an environment that promotes excellence and enhanced communication among our various constituencies.
