Every year, the board of directors sends out an announcement to look for new board members. Those interested are invited to attend a meeting, and are encouraged to talk with other board members and fill out an application. The current board votes in new board members from both applicants and any current board members that re-apply to sit on the board. Board members serve two-year terms.
Applications are accepted year round. At the April meeting, the nomination committee will present the applicants to the board of directors for the new school year. The new board is elected during the May meeting. The first meeting of the new board is held in August. Any open positions occuring during the school year will be filled as needed from the pool of applicants.
