Board of Directors

About

The seven-member Board of Directors, which is the policy making body of the school district, derives its legal authority from the statutes of the State of Oregon.

The board selects the superintendent as the district's executive officer and delegates the responsibility for implementing its policies and plans to the superintendent. The board also has the annual responsibility of adopting a balanced school district budget.

Policies

Copies of school board policies and the district's administrative rules can be reviewed at each school and in the Education Center at 200 North Monroe Street. School board policies can also be reviewed at the Eugene Public Library and are also available online at http://policy.osba.org/eugene/.

Elections

Board members are elected from the district at large to serve four-year terms. Board elections occur in May of each odd numbered year. To be eligible for election to the board, a person must be a registered voter in the school district, and have been a resident of the district for one year immediately preceding the election. Board members serve without pay. The term of office for board members begins on July 1 immediately following the election.

Meetings

The school board usually meets in regular public sessions on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 7 p.m. at the Education Center, 200 North Monroe, Eugene. Special meetings and work sessions are scheduled as necessary. Copies of the agenda for school board meetings and background information about the agenda are available at each school board meeting; agendas also are posted online before each meeting. All regular board meetings are broadcast live on the district's radio station, KRVM-AM 1280.
