Board Home
Our Board of Education is proud to represent the distinct character and values of Scranton, Carbondale and Overbrook. While we come from three unique communities, we are united by a single purpose: the success and well-being of every student. We believe our district’s strength lies in our diversity, bringing together different perspectives to build a cohesive, inclusive educational environment. We are dedicated to weaving the strengths of our three towns into one supportive school family, ensuring that every child—regardless of their zip code—has the opportunity to excel.
As elected representatives of our community, we are committed to making informed decisions that shape the future of our schools. Our responsibilities include:
- Policy Development: Crafting and implementing policies that promote high educational standards and equity.
- Budget Oversight: Ensuring that financial resources are allocated efficiently and effectively to support student learning and well-being.
- Superintendent Supervision: Collaborating with and providing oversight for the Superintendent to ensure the district's strategic goals are met.
- Curriculum and Instruction: Evaluating and approving curricula that meet the diverse needs of our students and prepare them for future success.
- Facilities Management: Overseeing the maintenance and improvement of school facilities to provide a safe and conducive learning environment.
- Community Engagement: Encouraging active participation from parents, students, teachers, and community members to foster a collaborative educational community.
Our mission is to support every student in reaching their full potential by prioritizing safety, equity, and excellence in all our decisions. We invite you to explore our initiatives, participate in our meetings, and join us in our dedication to student success and safety.
