Jackson School District - HOME
Back to Board of Education Information Board of Education Members
Our seven member Board of Education is an elected body comprised of residents of Jackson Township. As Board members, they establish policies and administrative procedures for the Jackson School District's daily operations.
Board members fulfill three-year terms and serve the residents and children of Jackson Township without pay. These board members make important decisions that affect the educational offerings to our children, and welcome and encourage the public to take an active role in the educational process as well. Members of the community can attend all Board meetings to ask questions and express opinions.
Marvin Krakower,
President
This is Mr. Krakower's 13th year on the Board of Education. As a board member, his goals are to provide a quality education for all of our students and to ensure that our schools are safe and clean for the success of our student body.
A former educator, he believes the board must consistently strive for and reach these goals if it is to succeed in benefiting the children of Jackson.
