The Board of Trustees oversees key aspects of the district, including policymaking, approving budgets, and guiding major projects and initiatives. Trustees also work closely with the superintendent, who manages the district’s daily operations.
Trustees serve staggered, three-year terms. Those elected in 2025 will serve until their seat is up for election again in 2028.
The board typically meets monthly, with board members sworn in during the May regular meeting and officers elected in the June regular meeting.
