Roles and Responsibilities
The Board of Education is an organization of elected citizens and residents living in the district for a minimum of one year. Once a member has been elected to the Board, they gain the right to vote on proceedings concerning the school district.

-
Regulating student activities, rules and regulations, and appeals
-
Decisions associated with dress code regulations
-
Training new board members
-
Developing and maintaining policies
-
Providing an annual district budget
The Board of Education meets annually for the first time as an organization to appoint their members to their place in office. Board meetings occurring during the school year never start later than eight p.m. and are announced in the Trenton Times. The Robbinsville Board of Education meets in the Student Activities Center in Robbinsville High School on the last Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
The Robbinsville Board of Education is made up of nine members. Three Board seats are filled through a community election each year for a term of three years.
