School Board Sets New Policies DR. CHARLES HOLT, MR. BILL CLOSE DR. STEWARD S. FLASCHEN SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS The Scottsdale School Board serves jointly as a hoard of trustees and a hoard of education. Both Scottsdale elementary and high schools fall under its jurisdiction. Consisting of five members, it meets frequently to debate and issue decisions on major problems facing the Scottsdale educational system. Their responsibilities are many and great. They con- trol employment and dismissal of administrators, teachers, and other personnel; they issue building contracts and arrange for adequate teaching facili- ties. Their largest area, however, is the determining of policy. 14 MRS. SALLY STIEG MR. EARL SUMERALL MR. KEITH TURLEY
