The Sartell-St. Stephen School Board’s role is to provide leadership and establish policy for the school district.
Per Policy 201, the School Board has responsibility for the care, management, and control over public schools in the school district.
The Sartell-St. Stephen School Board is made up of six people elected at large to four-year terms. School board elections are held in November.

Regular board meetings are generally scheduled on the third Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. and held in the Board Room at the District Service Center (see map on this page). During the months June, July and August meetings begin at 6:00 p.m.
School Board study sessions and work sessions are also typically held at the District Service Center. Occasionally, meeting times and places are adjusted for special purposes or because of time conflicts due to holidays, events or activities.
