District 15 and the Board of Education
www.ccsd15.net - Read more about District 15.
The main function of the Board of Education is to adopt goals and
policies that meet state requirements and reflect community needs.
The board carries out this function by:
* Hiring and evaluating the superintendent of schools.
*
Authorizing employment of staff members and setting salaries.
*
Setting educational standards and goals and monitoring district
performance.
* Authorizing curriculum development and revision.
* Adopting and monitoring a budget sufficient to carry out
district goals.
* Establishing districtwide policies.
Former Board of Education President, Scott Boucher said,
"Reflecting upon the results of our last two elections, board
members realized that the lines of communication with our
constituents needed improvement. This quarterly newsletter, Board
Briefs, has been created to help fill that gap. Our intent
is to keep you informed, not only about our schools to see what our
students are learning and achieving, but also to help you stay
current on what we are doing to strengthen the financial condition
of our district."
A "Summary
of Board Actions" will be posted on the District 15 Web site as
quickly as possible after each regular board meeting, usually within
two days. Official minutes of Board of Education meetings cannot be
posted until after they are approved by a vote of the board at the
next regular monthly meeting. Board of Education meetings are open
to the public, and all board actions, with the exception of closed
sessions, are considered to be public records.
District 15's website has the most current information
