School Board

Board room set up for in person board meeting

The school board represents a continuing commitment to local citizen control and decision-making in education.

School Board Overview

The local school board is a uniquely American institution that has made public schools flexible and responsive to the needs of local communities. It represents a continuing commitment to local citizen control and decision-making in education.

The Issaquah School Board generally meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month with a few exceptions. Community linkage meetings and/or work study sessions are also held prior to board meetings throughout the school year.

Role of the School Board

The school board represents a continuing commitment to local citizen control and decision-making in education. Members focus on:

  • Establishing school district goals;
  • Providing for program development activities;
  • Overseeing the financial affairs of the district;
  • Adopting operating policies;
  • Assuring systematic review and evaluation of all phases of the school program; and
  • Advocating on behalf of students and schools, including legislative advocacy.

The Issaquah School Board has five members, elected for four-year terms. For more information on school boards, visit the Washington State School Directors' Association website.

Only one e-mail addressed to the Board of Directors is necessary. Board members and the Superintendent will each receive a copy.
