Mr. Donald Brandenburg—Visiting teacher The school board feels that the)1 are one of the three major factors that help run a school district. The school board is composed of eight members, six elected and two permanent, who willingly give of their time to set up policies for the school district. Another group that helps make a system strong is an interested and well informed community, one which strives for what it wants in terms of educational opportunities for all its children. The third group is composed of administrators and faculty. These arc the people directly responsible for the teaching and learning process which goes on in the classroom.
