As elected representatives of the citizens of the Brentwood School District, the seven-member Board of Education serves as the governing body for the community's public school system. The school board sets district policies, selects the superintendent of schools, adopts the annual budget and determines the tax rate.

Board members serve three-year overlapping terms with two or three members elected each year. These individuals, who receive no salary, are committed and engaged citizens who devote countless hours working on behalf of students and the educational interests of the Brentwood community.
