What is the makeup of the policy board?
The policy board must, by law (paragraph 6, section 316), be made up of a majority of elementary and secondary teachers representative of teachers served by the teacher center. The teacher members are designated by the collective bargaining agent(s) of those teachers served by the center. Other members on the board are designees of the Board of Education, a parent, a representative from higher education, and individuals from the business community involved with computers. The policy board is the heart of the center. This is the group that communicates often with the constituencies; the teachers, the school board, parents, higher education and the business community.
