The numbered seats are all city-wide. The third year is an off year, and there are no School Board elections. School Board members serve without monetary compensation. Officers The School Board elects officers annually, at the first May board meeting. School Board officers include a president, vice-president, treasurer and clerk.
Election is by nomination and ballot.
The superintendent is annually appointed secretary for the board. In practice, the superintendent's secretary takes minutes at the board meetings. The president of the School Board presides at School Board meetings, controlling discussion and ensuring that all board members have an opportunity for input. Committees For practical purposes, the board meets primarily as a committee of the whole, rather than in separate committees. The School Board may also appoint ad hoc committees, which then become public bodies subject to open records and open meetings laws.
