In the United States, public schools belong to school districts, which are governed by school boards. Each district is an independent special-purpose government, or dependent school systems, under the guidelines of state government and local school boards. A school district is a legally separate body corporate and politic. School districts are local governments with powers similar to that of a town or a county including taxation and eminent domain, except in Virginia, whose school divisions have no taxing authority and must depend on another local government (county, city, or town) for funding. Its governing body, which is typically elected by direct popular vote but may be appointed by other governmental officials, is called a school board, board of trustees, board of education, school committee, or the like. This body appoints a superintendent, usually an experienced public school administrator, to function as the district's chief executive for carrying out day-to-day decisions and policy implementations. The school board may also exercise a quasi-judicial function in serious employee or studentdiscipline matters.
School District 53 Okanagan Similkameen is a school district that serves fragments of the southern Okanagan and lower Similkameen regions, which include Cawston, Hedley, Keremeos, Okanagan Falls, Oliver, and Osoyoos, totaling to six communities in the district, all of which are in British Columbia, Canada. Its main "maintenance department" office is held in Oliver, consisting of ten schools, five of which are elementary, three are high or secondary schools, while two are alternative schools. This district's superintendent is Beverly Young, while 2,665 students attend schools in it; there are 480 employees for the Okanagan Simlkammen school district. Their motto is "Learning Today for Living Tomorrow", and all places within the district are towns or villages.
In addition to the conventional school programs, School District 53 offers three adult learning outlets, an outreach school, three early learning centres, as well as one elementary hockey academy; the district supports Aboriginal people. It provides a school bus transportation service, in order for children to get to their school and home, being responsible to the Director of Facilities. This bus service has been considered for expansion. School District 53 maintains a policy on emergency, which was amended on April 30, 2008. There is also a "smoke-free" policy that was amended on September 26, 2007.

School District of Abington Township v. Schempp | 374 U.S. 203 (1963)
In 1962, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Engel versus Vitale that state-compelled prayer in public schools violated the Establishment Clause, which prohibits the government from adopting a religion or mandating religious practices. Prayer, scripture reading, and religious instruction were commonplace in public schools, and it remained unclear what other activities might be prohibited. In School District of Abington Township versus Schempp, the Court created a test to clarify when state-sponsored activities violated the Establishment Clause.

School District of Abington Township v. Schempp | 374 U.S. 203 (1963)
In 1962, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Engel versus Vitale that state-compelled prayer in public schools violated the Establishment Clause, which prohibits the government from adopting a religion or mandating religious practices. Prayer, scripture reading, and religious instruction were commonplace in public schools, and it remained unclear what other activities might be prohibited. In School District of Abington Township versus Schempp, the Court created a test to clarify when state-sponsored activities violated the Establishment Clause.
A Pennsylvania statute required public schools to begin each day by reading Bible verses and a recitation of the Lord’s Prayer. Student participation was voluntary. A similar rule imposed by the Baltimore School District pursuant to Maryland state law required morning exercises in public schools consisting of a Bible reading or a recitation of the Lord’s Prayer. Students could be excused from participation by parental request.
The father of a public-school student in Pennsylvania sought an injunction against the statute. The district court struck down the law as a violation of the Establishment Clause. The mother of a Baltimore public-school student filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to rescind the rule. The trial court upheld the rule as constitutional because student attendance wasn’t compulsory. The Maryland Court of Appeals affirmed.
The United States Supreme Court consolidated the two cases and granted certiorari.
