The St. David Unified School’s Governing Board is made up of five elected community members. They generously volunteer their time and talents to help the district deliver the best possible educational opportunities to our students. Their duties include helping the Superintendent and district administrators set policy, hire and retain quality staff, and to encourage parent involvement in the educational process.

To review our Board Policies, please feel free to visit the Arizona School Board Association site.
