Two Boards Control School’s Business As the elected representatives of the Kdina community, the school board members are responsible for running the school system. The Board establishes the policies of the school district under the leadership of Mr. Richard Reeves. It also levies taxes to pay for schools and teachers salaries and approves resignations, school curriculum, and extracurricular activities. The seven members on the PTA Board, which meets once a month, arc in charge of four major projects during the year; the Christmas concert given by the Girls’ and Mixed Choirs, the open house concluding the PTA membership drive, the “College Days' meeting, and the dinner at the end of the year honoring the high school teachers. The money for the dinner is taken out of the PTA membership fund. Another two hundred dollars from the membership drive is given in scholarships to two deserving seniors who are planning a career in education. All requests for money are considered by the PTA board.
