School board

Kennewick School District is governed by a publicly-elected school board. These five board members, called "school directors," hold office for four years at staggered terms until they are either re-elected or replaced by their successor. The board also has one non-voting student member who serves for one year.

School directors work together to oversee the school district. As a board, their primary responsibilities are:

Hire, supervise and evaluate the superintendent
Set the vision, mission and strategic goals for the district
Review, revise and adopt policies
Establish and oversee the budget
Serve as community representatives
Monitor the district’s progress towards its goals
