What the citizens of the next generation Will be, our schools of today Will largely determine. And what the schools are today and tomorrow, our Board of Education largely determines. In New York State the legislature and the people of various local communities delegate to Boards of Education the responsibility of insuring that the schools are properly administered in accordance with state law and local regulations. There is probably no more important work than that of serving as a School Board member, and there certainly is no Work which requires greater wisdom, patience, common sense, judgment a11d devotion to duty. Boards of Education have as their responsibility a most important, technical and difficult public business. More money is spent on schools, more people are employed in them, and more people are affected by them than by any other local and public institution or undertaking. Every Board member must spend much time in becoming acquainted with his responsibilities, which are: 1. Select, and support in the discharge of his duties, the chief executive officer of the schools. 2. Pass upon the annual budget, and submit same for final approval at the annual school meeting. 3. Pass upon recommendations for buildings, improvements, extensions and readjustments of the educational program. 4. Appoint, upon recommendation of the chief executive officer, all principals, teachers and other school employees. 5. Determine, after proper analysis and recommendation, the schedule of' all salaries. 6. Approve bills for expenditures, as recommended, for the operation and maintenance of the schools. 7. Approve the adoption of all school textbooks and courses of study as recommended. 8. Consider communications, written or oral, on matters of administration or policy. 9. Visit the schools to observe the efficiency of instruction. 10. Bepresent the needs and progress of the schools to the public at the annual school meeting and on other appropriate occasions.
