Agenda Item Summary: The attached VSBA School Board Candidate Guide is provided to acquaint both candidates and community members with an overview of qualifications, procedures and legal implications related to filling a seat on a local school board, as well as the roles and responsibilities of school board members. This resource was also created as a guideline for structuring school board candidate forums to encourage all communities to promote voter awareness and careful consideration of school board candidates’ qualifications. While the effectiveness of a school board member, either elected or appointed, depends upon his or her personal qualities and the knowledge and talents that he or she contributes to the board, an informed and supportive community sets the stage for effective schooling and school governance.
