FAQs

Ohio

Q: What are the main responsibilities of a public school board?

A: Public school boards don’t handle the day-to-day operations — that’s the superintendent’s role. Instead, they provide vision, oversight, and accountability in four key areas: setting the district’s mission and policies, hiring and evaluating the superintendent and treasurer, approving and monitoring the budget, and representing the community’s voice.

Q: How many school board seats are open in the next Sycamore election?

A: In the upcoming November 4, 2025 election, Sycamore Community Schools will have 3 board seats on the ballot.

Q: Is the school board a partisan position?

A: No. School board seats are nonpartisan. Candidates don’t run with party labels — because educating kids isn’t about politics. It’s about focusing on students, families, and the community, not party agendas.

Q: What skill set is ideal for a school board member?

A: Strong board members bring a financial background to oversee budgets and a policy background to shape direction and navigate regulations. Just as important are communication, collaboration, and a steady focus on students and the community.

Q: How long does a school board member remain in office?

A:  In Sycamore Community Schools, as in most Ohio school districts, a school board term is four years. Board members are elected on a staggered schedule, so not all seats are up for election at the same time—this helps maintain continuity and stability in district leadership.
