The board members of Stewartville Public Schools are charged with governing the school district and are responsible to our communities to govern efficiently and effectively.  This obligation imposes some fundamental duties on the board.

• Vision:  The board, with community input, envisions the educational future of its communities and then formulates the goals, defines the outcomes, and set the course for the district.
• Structure:  To achieve its vision, the board establishes a structure and hires a superintendent to accomplish that vision.
• Accountability:  The board is accountable to the community for constantly monitoring the conditions affecting the district as a whole.
• Advocacy:  The board advances its vision by focusing on student achievement, partnering with our communities, and being proactive in addressing issues that affect education on local, state, and national levels.

Board members are compensated for their work. The chairperson shall receive an annual stipend of $1,600.00; officers and directors will receive an annual stipend of $1,000.00. All board members shall be paid $45.00 for attendance at each regular School Board meeting, and $30.00 for attendance at committee, special, and work session meetings.
