Under the Policy Governance model, the Issaquah School Board's most important responsibility is to develop a Mission and "Results," which are areas of knowledge and skill that all students must master by graduation to successfully live and compete in today's dynamic global environment. The Mission and Results set the educational direction for the entire District.  Everyone is invited and encouraged to participate in the monitoring of the Mission. Upcoming Board meeting dates are posted on the District School Board webpage.
