A seven member School Board governs District 833. Board members are elected at-large on Election Day in November of odd numbered years. The superintendent of schools is an ex-officio member of the School Board, and there are three non-voting student representatives. Board meetings are typically held twice each month on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. at the District Service Center (7362 E. Point Douglas Rd. S., Cottage Grove). The public is welcome to attend these meetings. Board meetings are also broadcast on Cable TV Channel 15 (aired several times between meetings), and also web streamed.
The District 833 School Board operates under a policy governance structure in which the School Board’s primary duty is to set policy and the Superintendent’s duties focus on managing the implementation of these policies.
