Winfield ISD Board of Trustees

Parents and other community members use their voice in public education control through the election of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees appoints the Superintendent who carries out the policies set by the Board. The Board and the Superintendent work together to assure the best interests of the students and the patrons of the school district.

 The Board of Trustees is the district’s policy-making committee that elected by the voters of Winfield. The Board of Trustees functions in accordance with state and federal laws, and provides an important public service to the community and school district without pay of any kind.

 The seven members serve without pay and are responsible for adopting district policies, approving the annual budget, purchasing equipment, goods or services needed by the school district and employing district personnel.

 In order to perform these duties the board must have a majority present (quorum) at board meetings. The quorum not only transacts business, but also elects officers that serve one-year terms, and selects and employs the superintendent and delegates the responsibility and authority for the operation of the school district to that chief executive officer.
