Board Members

Board members are elected by registered voters of their respective districts for five-year terms and receive no pay for performing their duties.

School Board general elections are conducted on the first Tuesday in April, with one Board position open for election each year. If more than two candidates file during the December filing period for an open seat or an unexpired term, a primary election will be conducted on the second Tuesday in February. If no candidates receives more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two candidates will proceed to the school board election on the first Tuesday in April. Only those registered voters living within the geographical boundaries of the Board district in which a term is expiring or in which a vacancy exists are eligible to vote for that Board position.

Who Represents You On The Board of Education?

Who represents you on the Union Public Schools Board of Education?

Union’s Board of Education members are elected to represent a specific population area of the district based on a census that divides residents as equally as possible. So how do you know who ‘your’ board member is? The answer, strictly speaking, is look for the board member who holds the seat corresponding to the board zone with your address.

However, the board is here to serve the entire district. The Board wants what is best for every student, family, teacher and employee of the district. While the Board members do represent a specific part of the district population, any one of them is happy to help you regardless of your Board zone. At Union, Board members work hard to be a united Board, keeping Union's goals district-centered. 

What does the Board do?

The school board functions as an overarching governing body, meaning Board members don’t make the everyday decisions such as which teacher your student has, or if they get to play on a specific team.

Board members have the job of providing the framework and rules for the district, overseeing how district money is spent, and approving contracts to keep the district functioning. However, Board members are all willing and happy to hear concerns,
