Alpine School District employees are encouraged to study relevant issues and participate in the political process. Schools are not to be used for purposes of political advocacy, but may facilitate dissemination of information.

One of the primary responsibilities of the Alpine School District Board of Education is the development of education policy. Policies serve as guidelines to the administration in the development and implementation for operating the district. It is the purpose of Policy 2231 to establish the process by which District policy shall be managed, reviewed, proposed and adopted.

The superintendent of schools is appointed by the Board of Education and serves as the Board’s chief executive officer. The superintendent’s term of office is for two years or until a successor is appointed and qualified. The superintendent shall hold an administrative/supervisory certificate issued by the State Board of Education. The Board shall set the superintendent’s compensation for services. The superintendent qualifies for office by taking the constitutional oath of office. (Utah Code 53A-3-301).
