Roles and Responsibilities

The Board of Education is an organization of elected citizens and residents living in the district for a minimum of one year. Once members have been elected to the Board, they gain the right to vote on proceedings concerning the school district. The Board of Education is responsible for a wide variety of transactions and decisions that are made in the district. Some of their responsibilities include:

Regulating student activities, rules and regulations, and appeals
Training new board members
Developing and maintaining policies
Providing an annual district budget

The Board of Education meets annually for the first time as an organization to appoint its members to their place in office. The Robbinsville Board of Education meets in the Cafetorium in Pond Road Middle School on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

The Robbinsville Board of Education is made up of nine members. Three Board seats are filled through a community election each year for a term of three years.

Board Committees

The Robbinsville Board of Education operates on a committee structure with each committee consisting of no more than four board members. Committees are determined at the board's annual reorganization meeting and are created to facilitate thorough discussion, research, and recommendation formulation, ultimately aiming to enhance the quality of education and ensure alignment with the needs and values of the local community. Personnel and Education Policy committees meet the Tuesday before a regular meeting and Community Relations and Business committees meeting the Thursday before a regular meeting. The current committees can be found below, along with the mission statement of each committee.
