Following the 2026 municipal and school board election, nine trustees will serve the LRSD community for the 2026–2030 term. Together, they will bring their experiences, perspectives, and connections to the community to the Board table as they help guide the work of the division over the next four years.
LRSD is governed by a nine-person Board of Trustees elected by the community every four years. Trustees serve as a voice for public education and are accountable to the communities they represent. Their work includes establishing policy and strategic direction, stewarding public resources, advocating for the needs of students and public education, and making decisions that help shape learning and working environments across the division.
At the heart of that work are the students, staff, families, and communities who make up LRSD.
