Who is tasked with interpreting the policies set by the State Board of Education?

Local school boards are responsible for interpreting the policies set by the State Board of Education. They play a pivotal role in implementing and adapting state policies to fit the specific needs and context of their individual school districts. Local boards assess how these policies affect their operations and ensure compliance while also addressing local educational goals.

This interpretation process is essential, as local boards must consider their unique student populations, community values, and resources when applying state guidelines. They work closely with district administrators to develop local policies and practices that align with the broader educational framework set by the state.
