Board of education

The JCSS Board of Education considers and approves the policies that govern Jackson County Schools. The board consists of five members, representing five geographical districts, who are elected per district to represent their district's constituents for a four-year term. As with every Board of Education in the state of Georgia, the JCSS Board of Education elects their own chair and vice-chair. The Superintendent of Jackson County Schools also sits on the JCSS Board of Education.

Monthly board meetings

Board members meet twice monthly for two types of meetings. The first meeting of the month is called the Board Work Session, during which specifics of the Board of Education Meeting are initially shared and discussed. The second meeting of the month follows the Work Session and is called the Board of Education Meeting.

The Board of Education Meeting is held every second Monday of the month (unless otherwise noted), and the Board of Education Work Sessions are held the Thursday prior. [5] Meetings are open to the public (unless otherwise noted) with openly accessible agendas hosted on the JCSS Board of Education eBoard/Simbli website. [6]

Both the Board of Education work sessions and regular meetings are broadcast live. [7]
