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 May. While candidates run for specific places, they do not represent specific geographical areas; rather, each represents PISD at large. Following the annual election, the Board elects a president, vice-president and secretary to serve for one-year terms.

2007-08 Board of Trustees - (Seated, l-r) Lloyd "Skip" Jenkins, Duncan Webb, Missy Bender, Melody Timinsky; (Standing, l-r) John Muns, Mary Beth King, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Doug Otto and Brad Shanklin.

Duties of the Board

Operating within the legal parameters of the state and federal constitutions, statutes, courts, and administrative agencies, the Board is  charged with the responsibility of providing the finest educational program possible for the students in the district. School trustees make all final decisions regarding school district priorities, policies, personnel, textbooks, expenditures, and growth management. Trustees adopt a budget which is necessary to maintain and operate the schools, levy taxes to support the budget, and submit bond issues to the citizens of the district to finance construction projects.

Contact the Board
