The Board of Education of the DeForest Area School District operates under a policy governance model. This approach emphasizes a commitment to stakeholder input and maintaining focus on the ultimate purpose of schooling – student achievement. The Board governs with emphasis on end results rather than on interpersonal issues of the Board; encourages diversity in viewpoints; focuses on strategic leadership rather than administrative detail; observes clear distinction between Board and Superintendent roles; makes collective rather than individual decisions; and governs proactively rather than reactively. |
