Each student votes for five candidates. Students vote only for candidates from their own class. The outgoing senior board members together with the director then tally the votes. The five students from each class who receive the highest number of votes begin their one-year term with the April SAB meeting. Elections for the three freshman representatives are held at the November meetings.
Students also nominate themselves by submitting a paragraph stating the reasons for their candidacy.
The freshman students vote for three candidates. The three candidates receiving the highest number of votes serve as the representatives of their class. They begin their term of office at the December SAB meeting and serve for the remainder of the school year. In the event of a tie in any class election, the SAB will decide whom to appoint to the board. In most cases, more than the allotted five upperclassmen or three freshmen will be selected.
