Jemez Valley Public Schools Board of Education
The Jemez Valley Public Schools (JVPS) Board of Education is comprised of five members who devote their time to public service as elected officials of the 1100 square mile JVPS District.
The powers of the Board of Education lie in its action as a public body. Although a member of the Board of Education is a public officer, that person has no individual authority or power. By law, the JVPS Board of Education is charged with the employment of the superintendent, making policies and approving and oversight of the District’s budget. The Board does not address personnel issues. The Board works with the superintendent to shape the strategic direction of the District based on the Board approved strategic plan, District’s Mission and Vision Statements.

Board Meetings are held on a regular basis, and all are welcome to attend.

Agendas, and Reports are available the Saturday prior to the third Tuesday of the month.
