Tuesday's Tip! Did you know….. In 1970, the Edgewood City School District was formed. Since that time, the Edgewood Board of Education has been the five-member board whose members are elected to represent the community to ensure appropriate organizational performance within the school district. The board appoints a superintendent and treasurer of schools and works closely with these individuals to drive the mission, goals, and objectives of Edgewood City Schools. Some of the duties and responsibilities of the board are the following: Adopt board policies as needed and required to govern the district. Through the recommendation of the superintendent, approve the employment of staff, renewal, non-renewal, and termination of staff, salary schedules, course of study, curriculum, selection of textbooks, and other matters that impact our schools. Adoption of annual appropriation measures. Exercise its taxing power to provide funds for the operation of the district. Play a key role in adopting and driving the district's strategic plan. Board members are elected at large to serve a four-year term. Each member is elected on staggering terms. The current board make-up is three members on one term and two on another. Officers are elected by their fellow board members and serve one-year terms. There are no term limits for board members. A link below will lead you to the Board of Education section of the Edgewood website. There you will find information about board members, meeting agendas, links to the recorded meetings, as well as other information concerning the important work of the Edgewood Board of Education.
