The Lynchburg City School Board is a nine-member group of laypersons appointed by the city council, and any Lynchburg citizen who is not a state, county, or city officer is eligible for appointment as a member. However, they must be a resident of the school district they represent. School Board members are also constitutional officers of the State. Among the general powers and duties of the School Board are to observe and enforce school laws, to adopt rules for the operation of the public schools, to establish guidelines for student conduct, to determine the curriculum to be offered and how it is to be implemented, to employ teachers on the recommendation of the superintendent, to suspend or expel students when necessary, to provide furnished school buildings and classrooms, to establish the length and calendar of the school term, to hold regular meetings, as well as necessary special meetings, and to submit to city council a detailed report of expenditures and an estimate of funds needed to maintain the school division.
