Board of Education

The public schools belong to you and your involvement is encouraged.  Public participation and open lines of communication are vital to a strong school system. Your interest is appreciated.

The Surry County school board has five members.  The school board represents the people of the district as the legal body that establishes educational policies and sets goals and objectives for the district.  The superintendent and staff, under the board's direction, carry out these policies and goals.

Terms are for four(4) years and overlap to ensure continuity of board leadership.  School board members receive no pay for their public service, only travel reimbursement to school system functions.  The school board is accountable to you, the citizens of Surry County, and to the state and federal governments.
