200.2 - Powers of the Board of Directors

The board of the North Mahaska Community School District, acting on behalf of the school district, will have jurisdiction over school matters within the territory of the
school district.

The board is empowered to make policy for its own governance, for employees, for students and for school district facilities.  The board is also empowered to enforce its
policies.  The board may, through its quasi-judicial power, conduct hearings and rule on issues and disputes confronting the school district.

The board has these powers and all other powers expressly granted to it in federal and state law as well as the powers that can be reasonably implied from the express
powers.
