School Board Policies 

The Information belongs to the public
While parts of personnel and student records are private, much of the
information gathered and recorded by school districts, as with any
government agency in Washington, is a matter of public record and open
to public scrutiny. Likewise, meetings of the elected members of the
School Board are open except under certain circumstances. The Washington
attorney general has created a guide to both laws, accessible at:
www.atg.wa.gov/OpenGovernment/InternetManual.aspx

Battle Ground Public Schools are governed by a five-person elected Board of Directors. They serve four-year terms, with three of the terms expiring in a given odd-numbered year and the other two expiring in the next odd-numbered year. That ensures experience and continuity on the Board.

Each director resides in a separate one of five geographic divisions of the 271-square-mile district, thereby guaranteeing a geographic balance on the Board. In both primary and general elections, all registered voters in the entire school district are eligible to vote in all of the races on that year’s ballot. Under state law, the office of school board director is nonpartisan.
