BOARD OF EDUCATION
The seven elected trustees of the Royal Oak School Board are dedicated to the success of our students and are guided by the district's long-standing Mission Statement. School board trustees are elected in even-year November elections by the residents of our school district.
Board members work collaboratively to hire and evaluate the superintendent, monitor and create the policies that govern our students and district, and oversee the financial operations of the district. In fact, the board trustees are not involved in the day-to-day operations of the district; that is the responsibility of the Superintendent.
The school board considers transparent operations and effective communication with all stakeholders of the district to be of the utmost importance. The school board members conduct their business in several ways, working closely with the superintendent and the cabinet. Guided by four officers (president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer) elected each January, the board meets as a whole (7) and also in smaller committees. All meetings are open to the public and provide a time for public comment. Agendas for all meetings are posted online and on the doors of the Administration Office. Generally, board meetings are held on the second Thursday evening at the Administration Office, starting at 6:30 p.m. as of November 11, 2021.
