Question 7 • United States History

The main function of a school board is to

Answer
A
raise revenue for public schools through local taxes and fees.
B
manage public schools in accordance with state and federal law.
C
propose and legislate state laws that affect the public schools.
D
serve as a school’s principals, teachers, and administrators.

Explanation

A school board oversees the public school system and sets policies within the requirements of state and federal law. It does not serve as the schools’ principals or teachers, and proposing state laws is the legislature’s role. Local taxes may help fund schools, but raising revenue is not the board’s main function.
