                            and public schools.

 These five responsibilities represent core functions that are so fundamental to a school system’s accountability to the public  that they can only be performed by an elected governing body. Authority is granted to the board as a whole, not each  member individually. Therefore, board members fulfill these responsibilities by working together as a governance team with the superintendent to make decisions that will best serve all the students in the community.
