THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Board of Trustees consists of seven Board members elected to serve, without compensation, for overlapping terms of three years each. Elections are conducted annually in November. While candidates run for specific places, they do not represent specific geographical areas; rather, each represents JISD at large. Following the annual election, the Board elects a president, vice-president, and secretary to serve for one-year terms.
