AVON-BY-THE-SEA BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING

The Avon Board of Education, both as a state agency and as the elected representative body of the citizens of Avon on school matters, is legally responsible for education in this school district. The general mandatory powers and duties of the Board are defined in Title 18A of the New Jersey Statutes. The seven members serve without pay for three-year terms. 

The Board's responsibilities include: setting and evaluating policy, establishing goals, overseeing that the district and the schools are well run by the administrators they have hired, and adopting a fiscally sound operating budget for the school district. Board members act on the Superintendent's recommendations, meet with civic groups, and receive input from parents, students, and community members.
