Board of education

The Airport Community Schools Board of Education consists of seven members, each elected to a term of six years, though this may be abbreviated to only four years at the board's discretion. Elections are held every two years, with members typically up for election in staggered groups, with two separate groups of two, and one group of three. Vacancies are filled by temporary appointment, with existing members selecting an individual to fill the vacancy until the next regular election, at which time that member may run to serve the remainder of the term.

The most recent election was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, in which two members were elected to six-year terms.^[6] On the ballot, a bond was proposed and voted on to fund numerous projects and address space and accessibility concerns, specifically at Wagar Middle & Junior High School, along with other campus needs. The bond was successful.

Membership

Officers are elected from within the board, typically during the same meeting at which new or re-elected members are sworn in.
