Colorado State Board Of Education
Our seven member Board of Education is an elected body comprised of residents of Jackson Township. Shephard has a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of South Dakota and a master’s in education from South Dakota State University. Written comments on proposed rules are accepted 30 to 60 days following publication in the Register and may be sent to the State Board office at the Department of Education.
The case that came to be known as Brown v. Board of Education was actually the name given to five separate cases that were heard by the U.S. Supreme Court concerning the issue of segregation in public schools. All regular Board of Education meetings are held on the first and third Mondays at 7 p.m. in the board room at the McKnight School Service Center located at 417 Fifth Street, Aurora, IL 60505.
The Negotiations Committee, chaired by Board President Rick Hanley works with the Superintendent, director of human resources, business administrator, and the school district’s attorneys to reach equitable contracts with the two labor unions represented in the district.
The State Board also reviews and approves three annual budgets (the Department of Education headquarters budget, the state aid to local education budget, and state-aided institutions budget) before they are passed on to the governor’s office for approval or revision and then to the General Assembly for final action.
Under its authority, the State Board sets the educational policy and standards for pre-kindergarten through high school and for Maryland’s public libraries, juvenile services education and vocational rehabilitation services, passes regulations that have the force of law and is empowered to interpret the true meaning and intent of the law.
