School board

The Tulsa School Board has seven members, each representing a different geographic area of the district. Each board member is elected to a four-year term, and the terms of each member are staggered so every year at least one member is up for election.[5] The school board establishes policies, manages the budget, hires the superintendent, and is the final appeals board for the district. The school board's authority is limited to official meetings.
