    Board Governance Information

    School district governance is the act of transforming the needs, wishes, and desires of the community into policies that direct the community's schools.

    The Larkspur-Corte Madera School District Governance Team is made up of the five Trustees and the Superintendent. Trustees are elected volunteers who serve four-year terms.

    Governance Team Handbook

    The responsibilities of the Board cover four broad areas:

    • Establishing a vision for the district
    • Establishing an effective and efficient organizational structure
    • Ensuring accountability
    • Advocating on behalf of children and public education
     
    In order to fulfill these responsibilities, the Board:
    • Selects and evaluates the Superintendent
    • Adopts and evaluates policies
    • Adopts and monitors curriculum
    • Adopts a budget and monitors the district’s fiscal accountability
    • Negotiates and adopts collective bargaining agreements
    • Creates an environment that promotes excellence and enhanced communication among our various constituencies.
