ABOUT US

Board of Trustees

As the community served by the SDOC has grown, so has the group of volunteers who sit on the Board of Trustees.  The Board of Trustees comprises a group of volunteers who hail from diverse industries and experiences with the collective goal of enhancing the educational opportunities afforded to all students in grades K-12.  We support innovative and creative educational programs and special projects designed to enrich the minds and bodies of the 3,700 12 students enrolled in the District’s six public schools.   We operate independently of the Board of Education and Parent Teacher Organizations.
