Board of Education

The Grants Pass School District 7 Board of Education consists of seven elected members of the community.

The Board holds an annual organizational meeting every July. At that meeting, the calendar of meetings and locations are established for the year, a chairperson and vice-chairperson are nominated and elected, and any other designations for the upcoming school year are voted on and approved.

Our School Board members value strong community relations, both public and private; and are committed to partnerships that promote student and district success.

The GPSD7 School Board has an active interest in the policies of the school district, and members volunteer many hours of their own time on behalf of the school district.
