A school district is a form of special-purpose district which serves to operate local public primary and secondary schools.
In the United States, public schools belong to school districts, which are governed by school boards. Each district is an independent special-purpose government, or dependent school systems, under the guidelines of state government and local school boards. A school district is a legally separate body corporate and politic. School districts are local governments with powers similar to that of a town or a county including taxation and eminent domain, except in Virginia, whose school divisions have no taxing authority and must depend on another local government (county, city, or town) for funding. Its governing body, which is typically elected by direct popular vote but may be appointed by other governmental officials, is called a school board, board of trustees, board of education, school committee, or the like. This body appoints a superintendent, usually an experienced public school administrator, to function as the district's chief executive for carrying out day-to-day decisions and policy implementations. The school board may also exercise a quasi-judicial function in serious employee or student discipline matters.

MADISON TOWNSHIP, Ohio (Adam Clements) - Students in Madison Township are returning Wednesday to the scene of a shooting that left two teenagers shot and two others injured. The school district's superintendent, Curtis Philpot, said this morning went well. "I'll tell you what, I think Tuesday's walk-through paved the way for a successful and pretty normal morning.
