As expressed in the law, the board is the governing board of a school district, and is created ―for the purpose of organizing, maintaining, and locating schools and for providing educational opportunities and services for all citizens residing within the school district.
The board will consist of 5 members, elected at large by the registered voters of the district; except as otherwise provided by law, board members will hold office for terms of three years.
