Education is a function of the State. In a representative democracy the will of the people of a State concerning education is expressed in the constitution and in the statues enacted by the legislature. Two agencies have been provided to direct the local program of education: a lay board of education and professional administration. The members of the board of education although elected by the local community, are State officers. They have such powers as the legislature statute confers upon them and those powers necessarily implied to enable them to carry out the express powers granted.
