The Minisink Valley Board of Education believes that, in partnership with the community, parents, administration, faculty, and staff, its primary mission is to enable the individual student to identify and achieve maximum potential.
Board of education members are unpaid public officials elected by the voters to take formal legal actions and set policy for the conduct of the district.
Policies of the Minisink Valley Central School District/Board of Education
A major function of the Board of Education is to set the direction for the district. Board members do this by writing and reviewing policies. When procedures and guidelines are set, they are done so in conjunction with these policies. Please BoardDocs to read the policy manual.
