What does a School Board do? 

The board's role is to oversee the governance of its school or kura and to ensure that everything that needs to be done gets done - legally, ethically, and as well as possible in the best interests of its students.

This is achieved through particular governance activities such as:

•  the strategic direction and targets for the school or kura

• planning towards and reporting on achieving those targets

• curriculum management

• financial and property management

• policies and procedures

• health and safety

• employment of staff at the school or kura.
