What Does a District Office Do?
All public school districts have many legal responsibilities. These must be taken care of "at the district level," meaning they require the review or approval of the district's school board. They include the following:
- Selection of curriculum materials
- Staff assignments, employee hires and dismissals, and labor negotiations and contracts (teachers, principals, and all other staff are employees of the school district, not individual schools)
- Monitoring both revenues and expenditures
- Compliance with state and federal laws, including regulations related to dozens of categorical programs which range from special education to school lunches
- Management of the district's real property and facilities
- In addition, most school districts centralize certain parts of their operation for efficiency and effectiveness. These can include staff development, purchasing, technology planning, strategic planning, public information, student transportation, student performance standards, and student assessments--to name just a few.
