Shakopee Public Schools is proud to have seven community members serve on its School Board. The Board of Education governs Shakopee School District #720. The School Board also hires the Superintendent; approves staff hiring's, resignations, terminations and leaves of absence; sets the annual local school levy; approves expenditures; approves educational programs; and ensures proper facilities and equipment are available to support teaching and learning in the District. The School Board is also highly engaged with the community that they serve and their continual focus is on the educational success of our students, and continued growth of our school community.
The seven board members are elected at large during the November general election in even-numbered years. Four board members are up for election one year and the other three are up for election two years later.As of May 16, 2022, Shakopee Public Schools also welcomed Shakopee High School students Aaditya Paranjape, Class of 2024, and Danielle Dake, Class of 2023, as ex-officio members of the school board. Michelle Sieberg (Class of 2025) was then welcomed in July 2023.
