ADMINISTRATION SCHOOL BOARD 'Leaders Guide Program Charged with the administration of the affairs of the school is the board of education. In Austin. members of the board are elected by the people at large and are answerable both to the people of the school district and in many ways, directly to the state. They have general charge of the business of the schools, must keep the schools in good repair, set up a budget and levy taxes to operate the schools, purchase sites and erect buildings when authorized by the voters, adopt courses of study. and provide equipment and instruction- al supplies. Elect Superintendent. It is their duty to elect a superintendent who is chief executive officer of the board. They also make contracts with teachers upon the recommen- dation of the superintendent. The superintendent is directly responsi- ble to the board. Austin's school board has pur- sued a progressive trend in its edu- cational policy throughout its his- tory. Austin has always led in the introduction of new courses that had permanent educational value. Austin has been fortunate in the calibre of the personnel of those who were willing to serve on the school board. They have consis- tently represented the best elements of the community and have indi- vidually and collectively made their contribution to Austin's progress in education. Business Men. They have been men of keen business ability, who, while willing to spend money for education, insisted on getting value received . They believed in progressive education. but were not tempted by passing educational fads. Austin's fine educational plant. from the kindergarten to junior college including veterans' training and the adult programs-an organ- ization which is simple. yet com- prehensive. as well as economical and functioning effectively-is ample evidence of the high calibre of Austin's board of education. is., A i JQ DR.
