“These employees work hard behind the scenes to help us get our jobs done,” said Beauchamp. “Honestly, I can’t imagine what we would do without the work of our clerks.”

School Board clerks are responsible for keeping accurate records of the meetings and proceedings of the school board, a record of all receipts and disbursements, and a record of all official acts. They also maintain frequent contact with the public, including parents, employees, and the media, on behalf of the School Board and Superintendent of Schools, and perform other duties as required by the Board.
