General Information

Our school system operates under the direction of a six member school board and a director of schools. Members are elected by popular vote in our county elections. They serve staggered, four-year terms. Our director of schools is appointed by the board members.

Regular meetings are held every second Monday of each month at the board's administrative office located at 2121 Woodland Street, Springfield, TN 37172

When a board meeting date and/or site changes, or a special meeting is needed, public notice will be given.
