District employees are responsible for much of the implementation of local district programs, at the direction of their boards. District employees represent their boards as the first line of contact with: the public they serve; agencies they work with and the programs they offer; and the local, state and federal legislators with whom they interact. As such, district employees offer a unique interactive perspective on programs, policies and relationships affecting districts.
