Board of Education
The primary responsibility of the Wooster City Schools Board of Education is to establish programs and procedures that will facilitate maximum learning for every student.
The board must accomplish this while also being responsible for wise management of resources available to the district. The board must fulfill these responsibilities by functioning primarily as a legislative body to formulate and adopt policy, by selecting an executive officer to implement policy and by evaluating the results; further, it must carry out its functions openly, while seeking the involvement and contributions of the public, students and staff in its decision-making process.
