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 2011.
Board Members act as
liaisons to 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.
