Members of the board of education are elected by registered school district voters on the day set aside for the Board of Education Election and Budget Vote.

The board is an extension of the state government and its members serve three-year terms without pay.

The board of education holds a regularly scheduled monthly meeting, usually on the second Wednesday of each month. Meetings are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. but frequently are called to order earlier with an executive session.

The board generally returns to open session at 8 p.m. Public discussion on matters relating to staff and students, at which their reputation, privacy or right to due process, or those of others could in some way be violated, is prohibited. Questions and comments from residents are welcomed by the board at the regular monthly meeting in person or community members can submit questions and comments virtually by 12 noon on the day of the scheduled board meeting using the following link: https://forms.office.com/r/BoEQuestionsComments
