200 - Statement of Guiding Principles

The school district is organized and known as the North Mahaska Community School District in the counties of Mahaska and Poweshiek, State of Iowa.

It is the policy of the Board of Education to organize and maintain the distinction between those activities which are appropriate to the Board of Directors as the legislative governing body of the School District, and those administrative activities which are to be performed by the Superintendent of Schools and his staff in the exercise of a delegated administrative authority.  The function of the Board can be described as policy-making, appraisal and evaluation.

The Board of Education shall have the further duty of providing the financial means by which the educational program is conducted.  They shall also ensure that the community be informed of the needs, purposes, values and status of the schools.
