Board of Trustees

The Dietrich School Board is the policy making body of the school district, establishing the principles that govern the daily operation of the school system.  Each of the five trustees represent specific geographic zones in the district.  Individual members have no authority to act on their own but meet as a board in a formal session.  They receive no salaries or benefits and are elected to a four-year term.

Addressing the Board

Meetings of the Board of Trustees follow a standard, published agenda.  The Chairman of the Board presides at all meetings.  Patrons who wish to comment on agenda items may do so by filling out  Policy Form#4105F  Request to Address the Board, located at the entrance to the meeting room.

Public comment on items before the Board is encouraged.  The Board's function is decision-making, and sentiments of the patrons assist in making those decisions.

The community, parents and non-parents, are encouraged to attend school board meetings.   The board offers numerous opportunities for patrons to serve on advisory committees and participate in policy making decisions.

Privacy Law and Employees' Rights

The rights of employees, students and others are protected by various laws and policies.  At a public meeting of the Board of Trustees, no person shall orally initiate charges or complaints against students or individual employees of the district.

All complaints, concerns or challenges regarding a specific school or individual should be registered first at the building level with the appropriate teacher or principal.  Experience has shown that this is the best procedure.  The Board is the final level of appeal.  All concerns, if presented to the Board directly will be referred back to the building principal or Superintendent for investigation.
