What the school board actually decides
Trustees set the district budget, approve teacher and staff pay, decide what gets built and maintained, and set the operating millage rate. The board hires and evaluates the superintendent. It is the level of government closest to your child's classroom and the one most people never vote in, which is why a school board seat in Greenville County is often decided by a few thousand ballots.
