0122 - BOARD POWERS

The power of this Board extends to those matters expressly or implicitly granted by constitution, statute, local charter or ordinance, or other law, including the power to do all things reasonable to promote the cause of education unless prohibited by Federal or State law.

The objective of the School Board is to function within the state statutes and court interpretations.

In all cases where the state laws do not provide or prohibit, the School Board shall consider itself the agent responsible for establishing and appraising the educational activities. The School Board is responsible for the making and adoption of all policies which affect the operation of the public schools.

A Board member has no individual legal authority since the law assigns powers, duties, and responsibilities to the School Board as a whole.

The Board shall also authorize the development and promulgation of rules and guidelines by the Superintendent for the proper operation and management of the District, including the conduct of students while in school, at school functions, enroute on school buses, or otherwise under the supervision of school authorities.
