No, it is a state branch. The city decides how it will district it's local public schools, and then elections are held in each school district for voters to elect who will be on the school board. The local school boards then report to their state's department of education, and the state's department reports to the Department of Education in Washington, D.C. Though it may seem like it's a branch of the federal government, it's only the federal funding that come from D.C. It is up to the state's to determine their standards and handles where the federal funding and state funding will go. This is why there is no national standard of education, only the No Child Left Behind act that determines the amount of federal funding given out.

The board of directors
Local governments have a lot of branches. They have judicial (courts), executive (mayors), and legislative (board/council) branches just like the federal government, and then they have many departments that mirror the federal agencies. Many local governments will have a Power Authority or a Department of Transportation, which technically could be called executive as they implement regulations, but it's easiest to think of them as separate agencies responsible for a set of duties. Other agencies deal with public safety, social services, and education, so there's quite a variety.

The executive branch, but not just any member thereof. Only those at the highest levels of the state and federal executive branches have such authority. The President of the United States has the power to pardon someone convicted of a federal crime. Each state has defined a person or entity capable of pardoning people for crimes committed in their state. An overwhelming majority (~80%) leave this in the hands of the state Governor. The remaining states either leave this power in the hands of a board or committee or a hybrid entity comprised of both the Governor and a board or committee. At the time of this writing these mentioned remaining states include (at least, and in no particular order) Oklahoma, Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, South Carolina, and Utah.

There are three branches of government in the U.S. - Legislative (makes laws, from the Latin "legis" for law), Judicial (the highest court in the land) and Executive. Same is true at the State level - Legislative, Judicial and Executive, though they may be called by different names. The Executive branch signs or vetoes laws, appoints judges at the Federal level (they may be elected at the State level), grants pardons, appoints board and commission members and oversees the armed forces (true at both State and Federal levels of government). Additionally, and largely via the appointed cabinet members, this branch of government oversees the common operations of government - social services, financial/economic, prisons, health care services, and the like. The Executive branch of the U.S. government includes the President, Vice President and Cabinet (and at the State level, usually the Governor, Lt. Governor and the Governor's cabinet)
