Kings Board of Education meetings are open to visitor participation. The board president will recognize anyone who wishes to speak during the Public Presentation portion of the meeting. Once recognized, you will have three minutes to address the board. Please sign in so the board president knows to call on you.
If your question can be answered immediately, it will be. If time is needed to study the issue, the Board or a district administrator will return an answer to you as soon as possible.
Executive Sessions
Closed-door meetings, or executive sessions, are permitted under Ohio's Sunshine Law so the Board can discuss matters that could be detrimental to the Board, the District, or individuals if discussed in public. Topics that may be discussed in executive session include personnel matters, the sale or purchase of property, legal matters, negotiations with employee associations, security arrangements, and other matters the Ohio Revised Code considers confidential.
Discussions may be held in executive session, but the Board must vote in public. For example, negotiations to purchase land would take place in executive session, while the vote on whether to purchase the land would be held in public.
Board Responsibilities
The Board consists of five members elected by voters within the Kings Local School District. Members serve four-year terms and are elected in odd-numbered years.
The Board's major responsibilities are to set policy and oversee the implementation of those policies by the Superintendent and staff. Other functions of the Board include:
- Adopting plans and establishing district goals.
- Selecting and employing a Superintendent and Treasurer, and conducting their evaluations.
- Monitoring the overall financial operations of the district.
- Considering recommendations of the Superintendent regarding policy, personnel, curriculum, and other matters.
- Evaluating the district's effectiveness.
- Informing the public about the progress and needs of the district.
It is the responsibility of each Board member to represent the entire school district and to make decisions based on what is best for the Kings Local School District as a whole, not individual preferences.
Vision for the Future
The vision of the Kings Local School District is for each student to develop their maximum potential. In order to realize this vision, Kings Local will maintain its excellent school district rating based on the criteria in the Ohio District Report Card. In reaching the excellent category, Kings Local will have equipped our students with the increasingly complex knowledge and skills that will prepare them for adult life success in a democratic society.
