The Sawyers Valley Primary Board is formed with the fundamental purpose of enabling parents and members of the community to collaborate in strategic planning to ensure the best interest of the students and school community.

The functions of the School Board include taking part in establishing and reviewing school priorities and general policy; financial planning; evaluating school performance; promoting the school in the community; and approving various charges and voluntary contributions.

School Board community positions are generally for three terms. Once a term is complete, nominations from the community are sort. An open community meeting occurs once a year where community members can attend a meeting to understand the School Board’s role.
