The West Seneca Board of Education will support the District in its efforts to nurture the well-being and safety of our students and staff.

The West Seneca School District is governed by a seven-member Board of Education elected by qualified voters of the district. 

Board members work together, and with stakeholders, in making decisions that best serve the students and accomplish the following:

• Create a shared vision for the future of education
• Set the direction of the school district to achieve the highest student performance
• Provide rigorous accountability for student achievement results
• Develop a budget and present it to the community, aligning district resources to improve achievement
• Support a healthy school district culture for work and learning
• Create strategic partnerships with the community stakeholders
• Build the district's progress through continuous improvement
• Adopt and maintain current policies
• Hire and evaluate the superintendent
• Ratify collective bargaining agreements
• Maintain strong ethical standards

Members are public officials who serve without pay for three-year terms. As our elected representatives and as officers of New York State, the board must carry out duties imposed by the state's Legislature, Board of Regents, and Commissioner of Education.

The school board has no legal or formal connection with any other local government body. Its functions are carried out through district officers, administrators, and personnel.
