The Board of the Wapello Community School District, acting on behalf of the school district, shall have jurisdiction over school matters within the territory of the school district.
The Board is empowered to make policy for its own governance, for employees, for students, and for school district facilities. The Board is also empowered to enforce its policies. The Board may, through its quasi-judicial power, conduct hearings and rule on issues and disputes confronting the school district.
The Board has these powers and all other powers expressly granted to it in federal and state law as well as the powers that can be reasonably implied from the express powers.
Authority rests with the Board in legal session, and not with individual members of the Board, except as authorized by specific Board action or by statute.
