School Board
On Feb. 8, 2013 a letter was sent to Governor McDonnell from the Alexandria City School Board expressing opposition to the Opportunity Educational Institution legislation recently adopted by the Senate (SB1324) and the House (HB 2096) (READ THE LETTER)
The Alexandria City School Board is a nine-member elected body that adopts policy for the daily operation of schools and sees that school laws are properly explained, enforced, and observed. The City is divided into three voting districts, and three Board members are elected from each district. Each member serves a three-year term.
Mission Statement
The Alexandria City School Board will ensure that ALL students reach their highest academic potential, and that they are prepared for citizenship, higher education and the workforce. To accomplish this goal, we will make policy, budget and leadership decisions that are aligned with our Vision and Strategic Plan; and we will communicate with and involve stakeholders actively and transparently.
