Board of Education
The Importance of USD 511 School Board
There are six key reasons why local governance is the best way to advance public education:
- Education is not a line item in a school board’s budget—it is the only item.
- The school board represents the community’s voice in public education, providing citizen governance and knowledge of the community’s resources and needs, and board members are the policy-makers closest to the student.
- The school board sets the standard for achievement in the school district, incorporating the community’s view of what students should know and be able to accomplish at each grade level.
- The school board is accessible to everyone in the community and is accountable for the performance of the schools in the district.
- It is the community member’s right as a voter to select new board members who will work diligently to provide an opportunity for students to receive a high-quality education, which will enable them to succeed in their career, college, and life.
- The school board is the community’s education watchdog, ensuring that taxpayers get the most for their tax dollars.
