Board of Education Time was when each school was under the direction of a local board of trustees with the Dade County Board of Education responsible for the overall system of education in the county. Today the Board of Education is composed of five members, one each from a different geo- graphical location in the county, appointed by the March grand jury for a period of five years. One member is appointed each year. This board is charged with the responsibility for the formulation of those policies necessary for the operation of all schools in Dade County and by the same token have full authority in school matters under the laws of the State of Georgia. Policy is car- ried out in the form of direc- tives, regulations, and job descriptions necessary to the administration of the school sys- tem and the individual schools. We are grateful for the inter- ested and dedicated citizens who have served as trustees or mem- bers of the Board of Education over the years in order that the children of the county might receive the best education possi- ble.
