About Our School Board

The Kuna Board of Trustees or School Board is the school district's policy-making body, establishing the principles that govern the daily operation of the school system. Each of the five trustees represents a specific geographic area in the district, called zones. Individual members have no authority to act on their own. They receive no salaries or benefits and are elected to a four-year term.

Our Board of Trustees includes:
