About this office
The Polk County School Board sets district policy, adopts the school budget, and hires the superintendent. Board members are elected by district. School board races are nonpartisan on the ballot, which means the party label does not appear next to the name — so knowing who the Republicans are is left to voters and to organizations like this committee.
