School districts are a form of special-purpose district which serves to operate the local public primary and secondary schools.
United States
Public education in many communities in the USA has been made the function of a school district serving one or more towns. A school district is a unique body corporate and politic, usually with Districts being coequal to that of a city or a county, and has similar powers including taxation and eminent domain. Its legislative body, elected by direct popular vote, is called a school board, board of trustees, or school committee, and this body appoints a superintendent, usually a highly qualified teacher, to function as the district's chief executive for carrying out day-to-day decisions and policy implementations. The school board on occasion may also exercise a token judiciary function in serious employee or student discipline matters.
Not all school systems constitute school districts as distinct bodies corporate. In some states, such as Maryland, all school systems are subordinate to state or local governments. Other states, such as New York, have both independent school districts and school systems that are subordinate to cities. Uniquely, the Hawaii State Department of Education functions as a single state-wide school district.
