What is the Board of Education?

The Board of Education is a seven person policy-making body which operates within the laws of the State of California and Napa County.  Each member, called a trustee, is elected for a four-year term; terms of office are staggered with elections held every two years.

The Board is responsible for approving the district's budget and adopting all policies and curriculum. The authority of the Board is as a whole and no Board member may act as an official of the district except when the board meets in a regular or a special session. The Board of Education is elected to represent all of the people of the school district. In making its decisions, the Board is guided by what is in the best interest of the entire district.

The Board President, Vice President, and Clerk are selected on a rotating basis during the organizational meeting held in December.

The Napa Valley Unified School District Board of Education demonstrates a powerful commitment to being present and engaged in the NVUSD community.

All seven Trustees recently completed comprehensive school visits, traveling to all 26 schools—plus the Adult School—to personally welcome principals and connect with staff and students. Trustees also attended bond measure ribbon cuttings, community events, and conducted deep-dive sessions to explore critical instructional topics, such as how literacy is taught in our classrooms.

This dedication to operational understanding, collaborative governance, and community advocacy was recognized at the highest level: the California School Boards Association (CSBA) awarded NVUSD the prestigious Golden Gavel Award, naming the team the Governance Team of the Year!
