Attending a Board of Education Meeting for at least one hour
I chose the option to watch a DVUSD board meeting manly for the reason that I forgot to do
this assignment because from what I heard you discussed about this project on the first day of
school but I didn’t get transferred to your class until two weeks after that day, because of this I
didn’t know about the assignment until it seem to be too late. This put me in a position where the
only thing I have time left to do is ”Attend a Board of Education Meeting for at least one hour.”
To be completely honest I am grateful I had this opportunity to learn about this matter because it
will increase the extent of my knowledge as to the reason why I am attending school and what
this district has to offer me for my plans to build my future.
What I learned about this option is, The purpose of a School Board is Ensure Accountability
As the community's representative in the local schools. The board is responsible for ensuring that
the schools are well run, that resources are used wisely and that high standards for academic
performance are set. The requirements to run for a school board position are to be a Registered
voter in the state of Arizona. Resident of the school district for at least one year immediately
preceding the day of election. Board members are elected by the shareholders of the company
and are responsible to set the company vision and appoint the chief officers to carry out that
2
vision. This means that they must have a background in the school system somehow in order to
get in this position.
During the school board meeting what is happening is the board is looking at the problems
that occurred in the past year or so and they are trying to have a discussion about the problem at
hand. What was discussed at the board meeting was the board reviews the past performance of
the district, engages in strategic deliberations and approves plans of action to provide ongoing
support to the organization through its various stages of growth. This board meeting did not meet
my expectation because it seemed like to me that there wasn't any debating nor could the online
listener see what the slides were so they don't know what the meeting is about. All and all I did
not have a great experience in this meeting and I am not happy with the way the board handled
this meeting.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I chose the option to watch a DVUSD board meeting mainly for the reason
that I forgot to do this assignment. I am grateful I had this opportunity to learn about this matter
because it increased the extent of my knowledge as to the reason why I am attending school and
what this district has to offer me for my plans to build my future. What I learned about this
option is, The purpose of a School Board is to Ensure Accountability in the local schools and
The requirements to run for a school board position are not very limited, you really just need to
be a Registered voter(In the state of Arizona), and a Resident of the school district for at least
one year immediately preceding the day of election.
