Governing Board

The Toltec School District Governing Board is composed of five members elected by the public to serve the community in either a two or four-year term, depending on the length of term chosen or open for election. Roles of the Governing Board member may vary as fitting to the needs and/or focus of the District, but many responsibilities are dictated by Arizona law which is subject to rectification during annual legislative sessions.

Excluding scheduled executive sessions, District Governing Board meetings are open to the public. Pursuant to governing policy BEDH Public Participation at Board Meetings, The Board invites the viewpoints of citizens throughout the District, and considers the responsible presentation of these viewpoints vital to the efficient operation of the District. The Board also recognizes its responsibility for the proper governance of the schools and therefore the need to conduct its business in an orderly and efficient manner. The established procedures for input from citizens of the District is defined in the policy, including the requirement to complete BEDH-E Public Participation At Board Meetings Request To Address Board and turn in to the Superintendent prior to the scheduled start time. It is best practice to provide input specific to action items on the agenda, since the Governing Board cannot address any issue that is not already scheduled to be voted upon.
