USD 489 Board of Education member
School Board Member
USD 489 is not a 2026 ballot fight, but the board and superintendent still matter right now. The elected board controls policy and oversight; the appointed superintendent manages day-to-day administration.
Why it matters
School leaders influence what kids are taught, how tax-backed bond projects are managed, and how parents experience the district long before the next board election arrives.
Office context
The USD 489 school board is the seven-member elected body that hires and evaluates the superintendent, approves the budget, sets district policy, and votes on facilities and bond work. The superintendent manages day-to-day operations. This page separates elected board authority from appointed administration.
Profiles
These are current USD 489 school leaders, not a 2026 candidate field. Board members are elected officials; the superintendent is an appointed administrator.
