What are the powers and duties of a school district?
Generally, a school district has the power to carry out the educational purposes and objectives set forth by the Legislature of its state. Since the State Legislature has the general authority to establish and regulate the public school system, a school district's powers are subject to any policy changes, modifications, or additions that the Legislature enacts. One important current issue is Federal and State "mandates" on local school districts, requiring them to undertake certain actions.
