School Board

The Rochester Public School Board of Education, or School Board, is a body of locally elected individuals who represent the community they serve; whose power and authority are granted to school boards by the state; and whose purpose is to ensure effective, efficient, and equitable delivery of high quality education to all the School District’s students through adoption of policy.

The Rochester School Board has seven voting members, called Directors. The Superintendent is a non-voting, ex-officio member of the School Board. Each School Board member position is identified by a Seat numbered 1-7. Each School Board member serves a 4-year term.

The School Board Handbook documents information about the Rochester School Board and how it operates. This is a helpful guide for community members looking for a deeper understanding of the work of the School Board.
