2025-26 School Board Meetings
The Centralia School Board of Directors consists of five members who are elected at large to serve four-year overlapping terms. A president and vice-president are elected every two years, as well as the legislative representatives. The Board is the policy-making body of the District with control over local school matters within the boundaries set by the laws of the state legislature and the rules and regulations of the state board of education.
In addition, two high school students serve on the board. The role of the student board members is to provide a student perspective in the decision-making process at the board level. They sit at the board table during meetings and participate in discussions with other school board members.
