- Budget Responsibilities
-
The county board must approve a budget for the County Office of Education. Currently, the superintendent formulates the budget and expects it to be approved. In the approval process, it should be examined and adjusted to provide the necessary services for the students in the at-risk schools and the districts, if necessary.
- Grand Jury Reports
-
The Alameda County Grand Jury has repeatedly investigated this office and recommended changes.
- Board Member Responsibilities
-
We should demand the best from ourselves.
