A five-member School Board is elected to represent each magisterial district. Board members are elected to serve four-year terms.

Regularly scheduled public meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month. Meetings are held at the School Administration Building in Fincastle at 6:30 p.m.

To communicate with the School Board, for questions about Board procedures, or to arrange to address the Board, call the Board clerk (540-473-8263).

The primary function of the School Board is to develop policies- written statements of intent guiding operation of the school program. The policies are placed in manuals which are available in the schools, at the school administration office and online.

The chief executive officer of the Botetourt County School Board is the Superintendent. His immediate staff includes assistant superintendents for finance, instruction, and personnel; supervisors for elementary education, special education, transportation and maintenance; and administrative assistants for administration and instruction.
