Responsibilities of the Board

The Rainier School Board is responsible for providing a quality educational program for over 1,000 students. The Board's main job is to establish District policy. Board members serve four-year terms without pay. The Board hires the Superintendent, who is responsible to carry out Board policies, provide educational leadership and manage the District's budget and staff.

Administration

The Superintendent administers the District’s programs and operations in accordance with the policies and guidelines established by the Board and the State of Oregon. The Superintendent works directly with district administrative staff to manage the District. Building principals are responsible to the Superintendent for the administration of each school’s educational programs and operations.
