Governing Board
The NSSEO Governing Board consists of eight board members. Each NSSEO member district appoints one of its elected Board members to represent their district on the NSSEO Governing Board. This Board establishes policy, oversees financial plans and supports program development to ensure that NSSEO programs and services are meeting the needs of the member districts. Board representatives serve on the following NSSEO committees: Finance Committee, Safety Committee, Insurance Committee, Policy Committee, and Negotiations. They also participate in a variety of NSSEO related activities.
NSSEO Board of Education documents and policies will be available on-line by accessing BoardDocs, an electronic document system. BoardDocs provides the District an electronic means for posting policies and supporting documents, and will enable quick and easy searches of online materials within its system.
Access the Board of Education Policy Manual and Documents in BoardDocs.
