fiuAK nr £(JUCATinK The School Board is an elected five-man-board that works very closely with the Superintendent of the district; it has been elected primarily as a board of school control, to determine policies, select experts, approve new under- takings, and determine expenditures. In fact the members transform it into a board of supervision for the detailed oversight of the entire work of the schools. The public schools belong to all the people, are supported by the people, and are designed to carry out the wishes of the people for the education of children, youths, and adults. It is the duty of the local board to make certain that the people have all the facts, at any time, concerning their schools. Specifically, the Board of Education has many direct responsibilities toward the school district it represents; the board has the legal responsibility for the conduct of the schools, the civic responsibility as the controlling body for a basically essential service to the life of the community, the social responsibility toward all the people who look to the school as the center of growth and development for young and old alike, the economic responsibility since positive proof exists that there is a direct relationship between good schools and busi- ness prosperity, and the board has a moral and ethical responsibility to dis- charge its functions courageously and impartially in the interest of the greatest good to the greatest number at all times. It is an absolute certainty that public schools will keep America strong and free if America's public will keep the schools free and strong and if they can mutually agree upon a statement of common beliefs and policies with regards to public education. Dr. K. L. Braithwaite, President South Sanpete Board of Education
