Board members serve without pay for overlapping terms of three years. Vacancies may be filled by a special election or by Board appointment until the next regular election. Elections are usually held the first Saturday in May each year. Candidates are elected from a single-member district plan. Officers are elected by the Board following the swearing in of newly elected members.
Trustees maintain a rule of conduct of dignity and efficiency in all their meetings.
To this end, Board members spend numerous hours researching and discussing issues, materials and reports pertinent to the continued progress and smooth operation of Beaumont's public schools.
