The Rockwood Board of Education is a group of seven members who are elected to serve as the educational advocate of our community's youth.  The key roles and responsibilities of the Board are to:

  • Hire and evaluate the superintendent and delegate all administrative responsibilities.
  • Approve the school district's budget.
  • Establish goals and evaluate outcomes.
  • Adopt and evaluate policies.
  • Connect with the community.
  • Assure school district performance.

Who is Eligible?

To be eligible for election, a local school board candidate must be a citizen of the United States, a resident taxpayer of the district, a resident of the state for one year preceding election of appointment and at least 24 years of age.

Making Board Decisions

A board of education is a governmental body, so it can take action only by a majority vote at a legally called public meeting. The individual board member's major responsibility is to study, evaluate, and, after due consideration, vote in the best interest of all students at such a meeting.
