Board of Education

The South Euclid and Lyndhurst communities elect five local citizens to serve on the SEL Schools Board of Education. The Board meets regularly for special meetings/work sessions in advance of the monthly board meeting to consider reports and recommendations from the superintendent and the treasurer of the district.

The board’s primary responsibilities are to set policy for the schools and to take actions needed to assure that such policies can be implemented.

Board meetings follow a specific agenda which is prepared in advance of the regular board meeting. Community members may address the board during the public comment portion of the meeting. The school board and administration will always attempt to answer issues that are presented. In some cases, more information is needed to satisfy all parties. In such instances, the question may be referred to the superintendent for further investigation or study. Individual concerns can be handled most effectively when residents discuss a specific issue with the proper administrator or the Superintendent of Schools before bringing the issue to the board in a public meeting.

Community involvement in the SEL Schools is welcomed and encouraged. Involved and informed families and citizens are the best guarantee of the quality education for students.
