As 2018 comes to a close, the Howard-Suamico School Board
wants to thank you for your continued trust and support. As we prepare to
bring in a new year, we want to make sure you are clear on the School Board’s
role, our mission and ensure you have the visibility, aka transparency, you
deserve.
School Board Role
The Board of Education acts as a whole, not as seven
individuals, to ensure the success of every child through clear, concise
direction to the superintendent as well as rigorous monitoring to ensure
accountability. The board charges the superintendent to focus every staff
member and all resources toward a single goal - student achievement. The
superintendent receives direction from the board and authorizes the staff to
implement practices, programs and activities that will provide the best
education possible. This approach allows the Board to focus its time and
energy on facilitating a successful school district.
Board Mission
The mission of the Howard-Suamico School District Board of
Education is to enact policies and allocate resources to develop all
students' full academic potential and to promote their social and emotional
growth.
