Board membership should include no fewer than 3 women or men. The appointment Committee shall consider minority group representation in the Appointment Process. State Statutes require: A) 2 Employer positions; B) 2 Employee positions; 3 Additional member positions; 1 School District Administrator position; and, 1 Elected Official position. No more than two additional members may be employees, and no more than two additional members may be employers. In addition, no two Board members may be officials of the same governmental body.

Board members who no longer fit the category of "employer", "employee", or "school district administrator" member, due to resignation or retirement, may fill out the remainder of their terms. This is not the case for the "elected official" position. The statutes specifically provide that the member of a district Board serving in that capacity shall cease to be a member upon vacating his or her office as an elected official. This vacancy then must be filled in the appropriate timeframe.
