Duties and Responsibilities of Trustees

 
Dohn Community High School is governed by a seven person Board of Trustees.
 
Collectively, the Board of Trustees has the legal responsibility for the operation of Dohn Community High School. The Board establishes the policies under which the school district operates, and the Superintendent is responsible for administering the school program within the limits of these pollicies.
 
The Board hires and evaluates the Superintendent, or Chief Executive Officer, and the Treasurer. Additional duties of the Board include:
·   Establishes all school policies
·   Develops an annual budget
·   Approves or disapproves the Superintendent's recommendations concerning personnel matters, including employee contracts and salaries
Three board members are members of the finance and audit committee. They hear and discuss the monthly financial report of the Treasurer, present this report to the board members at their regular meetings, and review the annual state financial audits.
 
The Board encourages parents and residents who have a concern about school matters to try first to resolve the problem at the level most directly involved, which is usually the classroom teacher or principal. If a satisfactory solution cannot be reached at this level, contact the Superintendent at 281-6100, ext. 1010.
