Authority of the Board

The Board is the unit of authority. Apart from the normal function as part of the unit, the Board member has no individual authority. Individually the Board member may not commit the district to any policy, act or expenditure. The Board member cannot do business with this district, nor should the Board member have an interest in any contract with the school district in general. The Board member does not represent any factional segment of the community, but is rather a part of the body which represents and acts for the community as whole.

No individual member of the Board, by virtue of holding office shall exercise any administrative responsibility with respect to the schools, nor as an individual command the services of any school employee.

No members of the Board shall be asked to perform any routine or clerical duties which may be assigned to an employee.
