School Board

  • The Independent School District 876 Board of Education is composed of six members who are elected to four-year overlapping terms, with elections held in the fall of even years. At the end of the four-year term, members may run for re-election. Voting takes place at general elections in November, and terms begin the first Monday in January thereafter. If a vacancy occurs in the middle of the term, the school board names an appointee to serve until the next district election. In addition to our elected members, we also have a student representative selected by the high school student council who serves as a non-voting member. Annandale's superintendent also serves as an ex-officio member. The Superintendent facilitates the work of the board and is responsible to the board for providing leadership to the district.  Information on our individual members is included below.
