- Accountability:Â The board is accountable to the community for constantly monitoring the conditions affecting the district as a whole.
- Advocacy:Â The board advances its vision by focusing on student achievement, partnering with our communities, and being proactive in addressing issues that affect education on local, state, and national levels.
