200.01 - Organization of the Board of Directors 
 

The Community School District board is authorized by and derives its organization from Iowa law. The South Tama County Community School District Board of Education will consist of 5 board members. Each board member is elected by a director district within the boundaries of the school district.  The school district consists of the communities of Chelsea, Montour, Tama, Toledo and Vining as well as the surrounding rural area within the District boundaries.

The board is organized for the purpose of setting policy and providing general direction for the school district. The board will hold its organizational meeting at or before the first regular meeting following the canvass of votes. The retiring board will transfer materials, including the board policy manual, and responsibility to the new board. 

The organizational meeting allows the outgoing board to approve minutes of its previous meetings, complete unfinished business and review the school election results. The retiring board will adjourn and the new board will then begin. The Board Secretary will administer the oath of office to the newly-elected board members. The Board Secretary will preside while the new board elects the president and vice-president of the new board.
