City Schools are safe learning environments where students receive an accessible and inclusive education that equips them for success.

The Board’s Mission is to provide a quality education that focuses on each child's total development, equipping all students with the life skills and academic foundation needed to contribute to our changing society.

Board's Role

The Board helps guide the direction of City Schools. The Board uses four Focus Areas to guide its decisions and priorities. These Focus Areas were shaped by feedback from families, students, staff and community members during the CEO search.

• Setting the vision and mission: Defining what City Schools works toward and the values that guide the district.

• Setting goals and tracking progress: Creating a plan for improvement and monitoring progress across the district.

• Choosing and evaluating the CEO: Hiring and evaluating the leader responsible for running City Schools.

• Approving the budget: Deciding how district money is spent to support students, schools and district priorities.

• Creating policies: Establishing expectations for safe, supportive and fair learning environments.

• Listening to the community: Hearing from families, students, staff and community members to help shape important decisions.
