School Board

School Board

Our school board is a policy-making body whose decisions are carried out by district administrators. The board functions as a whole and its authority lies within the will of its majority. No board member has the power to act independently.  Members of the KCSD board of education are elected at large for four-year terms and volunteer their time to serve our district.  

If you are interested in serving as a school board member, check out this resource from the Iowa Association of School Boards.

Board meetings are typically scheduled for the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month. Dates are subject to change; please check the District Calendar to verify upcoming meeting times and locations.

The Knoxville Community School District complies with Iowa's Open Meetings Law by posting school board meeting agendas at least 24 hours in advance. Official meeting proceedings, minutes, and allowable claims are recorded by the board and published in the local newspaper (our designated official newspaper is the Marion County Express) in accordance with Iowa Code Chapters 21 and 279.
Official, board approved, signed copies of all board minutes are permanently housed at the District Administration Office and remain available for public viewing during regular business hours.
