Board of Education

About the Trustees

The Trustees of the Napa County Board of Education provide leadership to support the success of public education. They collaborate with the Superintendent to govern the County Office. Their responsibilities include assuring appropriate educational environments and curricula for students, approving the office’s budget and acquisitions of real property, and determining the salary of the County Superintendent of Schools. Trustees serve as an appellate panel in areas such as denials of student inter-district transfers, expulsions, and denials of charter school petitions. They also serve as the County Committee on School District Reorganization with approval authority in respect to all proposed changes of school district boundaries.

Regular board meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month in the Conference Room of the Napa County Office of Education. Occasionally meetings are held at school sites around Napa County, so please call to verify time and location. 707.253.6810.

Expulsion Appeal Requests

The role of the County Board in an expulsion appeal request is to determine if your child’s due process rights were violated, which in turn resulted in your child receiving an unfair hearing. The County Board does not agree or disagree with the local board’s decision to expel, but does review the case to ensure that legal procedures were followed and a fair hearing was conducted.

Interdistrict Transfer Appeal Request

The County Board of Education has legal authority to review the procedures and reasoning followed by the school district(s) after the school district(s) have rejected or failed to rule on a pupil’s interdistrict attendance request. The County Board of Education will determine whether to grant or deny an interdistrict attendance agreement after reviewing the relevant facts from the pupil, parent/guardian, and local school district(s) involved.
