Board of Education
Board members’ contact information,
Board policies and other important information.

The Houston County Board of Education is responsible to the citizens of Houston County. To effectively represent and reflect the opinions of the community, it is imperative that parents, citizens, and business leaders take an active interest in the school district. Suggestions and open dialogue help the Board make decisions and assist in setting the course of education.
Board of Education members set policy, approve educational goals and curriculum changes, evaluate the educational program, and act on recommendations of the Superintendent of Schools. The Board also approves the annual budget and maintains a balanced budget at the end of the year. In addition, board members plan for the improvement and financing of facilities, act as a tribunal at employee and student hearings, and keep the public informed about school issues.
Board Members
The Board is comprised of seven members elected to four-year terms. The terms of members from odd-numbered districts will expire December 31, 2024. The terms of members elected from even-numbered districts will expire December 31, 2026. Every January, Board members elect a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson. The Superintendent serves as an ex-officio member of the Board and acts as the Secretary-Treasurer.
