School Board Resolution 

  • The Royal Oak School board of Education read a resolution about board responsibilities.   This will be posted on the web site 

Whereas, the Royal Oak Schools Board of Education believes that within effective school systems, the Superintendent and the Board function as a Board Team.” A structured approach to developing a vision for the District and setting goals is enhanced by first developing a system of standard operating procedures; and

Whereas, the School Board is the corporate policy making body for the District and the Superintendent and staff provide the leadership to cause board policies to be implemented. Therefore, the Royal Oak Schools Board of Trustees and Superintendent function as a Board Team” to provide open communication to the stakeholders of the District; and Whereas, this handbook provides the Board  procedures and principles for the benefit of current and future members of the Royal Oak Schools Board of Education. The Board of Education and Superintendent periodically review and discuss pertinent sections of the handbook to refresh their knowledge and practices. A significant component of new school board orientation is to become familiar with the procedures in this handbook; and Now, therefore be it resolved the Royal Oak Schools Board of Trustees adopts these guidelines as Standard Operating Procedures.
