Article I, Section 15, of the North Carolina Constitution, declares that “The people have a right to the privilege of education, and it is the duty of the State to guard and maintain that right."<br>
<br>
Section 4 of Article 9 of the Constitution establishes the State Board of Education, designating the composition of the Board. The North Carolina State Board of Education (SBE) is responsible for "supervising and administering the free public school system and the educational funds provided for its support." &nbsp;Board members include the Lieutenant Governor, the State Treasurer, and 11 other members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Legislature in joint session. Eight of the eleven Board members appointed by the Governor represent each of the state's eight education regions, and three are at-large appointees. The eleven gubernatorial appointees serve eight-year terms; the two ex-officio members' terms coincide with the term of their respective offices. &nbsp;The policies/rules developed by the North Carolina State Board of Education set the direction for all aspects of Department of Public Instruction and local public school organization and operations.<br>
<br>
The State Superintendent is the Secretary to the Board and the Chief Administrative Officer of the State Board of Education.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
The Board is also served by eight advisors (non-voting), as specified in General Statute. &nbsp;They include a local superintendent appointed by the State Superintendent, two NC Principals of the Year (each serving a two-year term), the Raleigh Dingman award winner (local board member), two NC Teachers of the Year (each serving a two-year term), and two high school students (a high school junior and a high school senior, each serving a two-year term beginning in the junior year).&nbsp;<br>
