School Board
The Pleasant Hill School Board is comprised of school district residents that are individually elected by the community they serve.
Their major responsibility is setting policy. The board hires a superintendent who in turn hires staff to put policies into practice.
Board members work with the public as they establish the mission and direction of education.
A board member must be a skilled decision-maker and team player, a public-education advocate, a vital link between community and school, and a policy maker.
As a public employer, the board establishes policies that govern the recruitment, employment, supervision, evaluation and dismissal of employees.
Board members must also do the following:
· Establish budgets
· Set goals, evaluate progress toward those goals
· Guide collective bargaining
· Evaluate the superintendent
