School Board

The Newberg School Board is responsible for providing a quality educational program for about 5,000 District students. The board's main job is to establish District policy. Board members serve four-year terms without pay.

The Board hires the superintendent, who is responsible to carry out Board policies, provide educational leadership and manage the District's budget and staff.
