The Board of Education sets policy not otherwise controlled by federal and state laws. It oversees expenditures from county, state and federal sources. The Board hires and reviews the work of the Superintendent, monitors implementation of the school system’s master plan and gives final approval to curriculum matters and materials, staff appointments, equipment purchases, land acquisitions, school construction, renovations and repairs.

Elected Board members serve 4-year staggered terms.

The Board meets at 6:00 PM on the second Tuesday of each month. Meetings are held in the Board Room of the Katherine Herring Resource Center at 798 US-117, Burgaw, NC 28425. Meeting times and locations are subject to change.
