By GreatSchools.net Staff The word "public" in public school refers to the fact that it is the citizens themselves who control the public schools. In most states, they do this in part by electing a school board ofdepending on the size and configuration of the districtthree, five or seven members who must be residents of the school district. The most important thing a school board does is to establish a vision for the community's schools that reflects a consensus of the board, community and district staff. The school board has a wide variety of additional responsibilities, such as adopting a balanced annual budget and issuing interim financial reports, adopting the school calendar, negotiating contracts with employee unions, approving curriculum materials and closing or constructing schools.

Fewer Educators Want To Be Superintendents Last year, wyoming Schools received only 29 applications for superintendent. There are boards of education that micromanage to the point of candidates http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/05/03/loc_superintendents03.html
Extractions: Cincinnati Enquirer) While school superintendents are retiring in record numbers, school boards locally and across the country are finding that the pool of applicants to fill those posts has shrunk, and those who do apply often are less qualified. The pressure and demands of the job, now ramped up by the accountability requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, mean fewer educators want the top post. That is making it tougher for school districts to find an applicant who's just the "right fit" for this crucial position. Princeton City Schools, a high-profile Tristate district, received only 30 applications to replace retiring Superintendent Don Darby. Twenty years ago, there might have been twice as many, said Al Meloy, a search consultant with the Ohio School Boards Association.

The low number is surprising, considering that the small, elite district has some of the highest proficiency test scores in the state.

School Spending 2002 - Who Holds The Purse Strings The wyoming Supreme Court, in its Campbell II decision in 2001, A singlestate education system. Under this system, school boards would no longer http://www.asbj.com/schoolspending/resources0502guthrie.html
Extractions: School finance was once the clear and protected domain of board members and superintendents. Schools received money from state and federal governments. In some cases school boards levied local property taxes; in others, districts received tax money from county or city government. With few limitations, and most of those on federal funds, the school board then decided how the money should be spent. State authority, however, is now eclipsing local authority in school finance matters. State legislatures and the judicial system are increasingly holding the state, not local districts, accountable for an equitable and high standard of education for all children. Along with this responsibility comes state control of money and educational resources. The intensification of state authority over resources and education quality threatens to clash with America's long-standing political preferences for local government responsiveness and citizen oversight. If the trend toward state centralized financial power continues, school boards could see themselves edged out of their roles as citizen overseers of their schools. This situation did not happen overnight, of course. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, local control over schools reigned supreme. State involvement was mostly limited to building construction. With the post-World War II civil rights movement, state and federal authority over schools grew. Intervention, in the forms of judicial decisions and legislative efforts, was deemed necessary to open up public schools for all students. Racially segregated schools were struck down by

NEW PRIVATE SCHOOL LICENSING PROVISIONS ACCEPTED BY WYOMING STATE BOARD. Detailed rules for licensing private schools, including universities that offer distance learning, were approved earlier this week by the Wyoming State Board of Education. The rule change came after discussions last fall about alleged violations, including schools not maintaining space in the state and insufficient translation and evaluation of foreign student credentials. Although agreeing in general with the changes, Trent Blankenship, superintendent of public instruction, believes the state should require accreditation from a third party and expects legislation to accomplish this will be introduced next year. The new rules also outline specific steps to pull a license from a school. Source:
