Board members elected for a full term at a regularly scheduled school election in November of odd-numbered years serve for four years. Board members appointed to fill a vacant position will serve until a successor is elected and qualified at the next scheduled school election, unless there is an intervening special election for the school district, in which event a successor shall be elected at the intervening special election. A board member elected to fill a vacancy will serve out the unexpired term.
Being a board member is a unique opportunity for a citizen to participate on a governing board of the school district. Eligible board members are encouraged to consider running for more than one term.
