School Board election for LVUSD Polls open from 7am-8pm on Tues., Nov. 5th. We entrust School Board members to set the policies(ie: classroom size) of our schools. They have to set up/maintain an effective, efficient organizational structure for the district that lets the superintendent and administrators manage the schools, teachers teach and students learn. They are responsible for evaluating and adopting policies that affect all schools in the district, serving as a judicial and appeals body when conflicts go unresolved, monitoring and adjusting district finances, and managing the collective bargaining process in the district. A school board has a heavy influence on the spirit that characterizes a community’s impression of its school system. Find your polling place at www.lavote.net.
