The School Board of Roseville Area Schools supports the educational philosophies and procedures needed to promote a high quality education for all students. The Board holds itself accountable to the citizens of the District ensuring that all action it takes is consistent with law and the Board’s policies that will be based on the best interests of the community and its learners.
In the fulfillment of this charge, the Board is committed to continual improvement of its capacity to govern effectively, using its policies to define its values and expectations. The Board utilizes a policy governance model of operation that focuses on policy decisions rather than on operational issues. It adopts policies that provide general principles for guiding the management of the School District defining “why and what” the District provides, not “how”. The Board’s purpose is to assure that the organization achieves the results described in its Strategic Plan and operates within the parameters described in District policies.
The Board focuses on outcomes for students; encourages diversity of viewpoints; focuses on strategic leadership; makes collective rather than individual decisions; exhibits future orientation rather than past or present; and governs proactively rather than reactively.
While the Board is responsible for school programs and operations by law, it delegates authority for the day-to-day operations of the District to the Superintendent of Schools.
