In general, they are similar to the functions of the board of directors of a private corporation: to establish the organizational structure. In addition to the regular monthly meeting, the board members gave many hours to individual study and extra meetings on the local and state level in order to deal effectively with school matters. The only compensation for the time away from their personal lives was the knowledge of the important contributions they made to the community. This contribution merited the appreciation of the citizens of the community.
