Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees for the Blaine County School District has five dedicated members elected for a three-year term from five separate zones that represent the communities of the Wood River Valley.  Their powers and duties are governed by Title 33 of the Idaho Code and policies of the Idaho State Department of Education.  (Please see Section 200 of the District's Policy and Procedures Manual for very detailed information on the governance and function of the Board.)

All regular and special meetings are open to the public, and notice is provided in accordance with the Open Meeting Law.  Unless otherwise ordered by the Chairman, the Board meets on the second Tuesday of each month.  Greater public involvement is encouraged through the formation of citizen advisory committees.

School boards are charged with decisions that impact what students learn, how students are taught, how learning is measured, how teachers are supported with professional development, how funds are focused on District priorities, and how effectively the community is engaged with student learning.  Our Board of Trustees has many responsibilities and duties, including hiring the Superintendent, making decisions on school property, approving contracts, authorizing bids and expenditures, approving school budgets, overseeing curriculum, and approving issues related to personnel.

Those who serve on the Board of Trustees are truly committed to the School District's goal of striving toward educational excellence and enriching Blaine County's learning community.
