In Verona, each school district is run by a school board. The elected council of the school board helps determine educational policy within the boundaries of the school district, its taxable area, which is "independent" of local government authority. The board also has the ultimate say in the hiring and firing of principals and superintendents and other district-wide administrative positions. The employment of teachers in individual schools, however, is generally at the discretion of the principal and administrative staff of the respective schools. | In Verona, each school district is run by a school board.
