The Ventura County Office of Education is governed by an elected County Superintendent of Schools and a five member County Board of Education.  The County Superintendent develops personnel and program policy and is the employer for all county schools employees.  The County Board makes policy decisions related to county operated programs in appropriate areas of budgeting, curriculum and planning.  Another function of the County Board is to hear appeals related to student interdistrict attendance, student expulsions, and charter schools.  The County Superintendent and County Board invite interested individuals to attend Board meetings and to take an active role in educational planning at the County level.
