Governing Board

Osborn School District #8

The five elected members of Osborn School District's Governing Board play a critical role in the formulation and approval of policies which guide the operation of the district.

Each member of the Governing Board is elected to serve a four-year term.

Every two years, either two or three positions are filled during the November general election. Board candidates must reside within the district boundaries for one year prior to being elected to office. Arizona law does not limit the number of terms a member may serve.

Meeting Information

Regular meetings of the Governing Board are held at 7:00 p.m. in the Governing Board Room at the Osborn District Office at 1226 West Osborn Road, Phoenix on the third Tuesday of each month. The exception is for the month of July when it will be held on the second Tuesday of the month.

At least 24 hours before a Board meeting, a public notice and agenda are posted at the administrative offices. If a holiday or unforeseen circumstance should necessitate changing the schedule, the new date and time will be included on the notice.

All Board meetings, except executive sessions, are open to the public. Under Arizona law, the board may call an executive session to discuss personnel matters, the purchase or lease of real property, meet-and-confer discussions, and legal matters with attorneys, among other things.

The public is invited to address the Board on any subject. Requests to speak to the Governing Board may be made by filling out the form, available in the Board Room prior to each meeting. By law the Board will be unable to respond to any item that is not on the posted agenda but may take it under advisement for further discussion.
