ABA - Authority

Authority

     As school boards are the creation of the state legislature, their authority is a delegated one. They may perform only those acts for which authority has been delegated them. This authority may be expressly stated or implied in statues or established through regulations of the State Board Of Education or implementing rules of the State Superintendent of Public Education.

     The powers delegated to a school board are delegated to the board as a body. No authority is granted board members acting as individuals, except when actions are taken pursuant to specific instructions of the Board.

   Adopted:         July 1976
