The Montgomery / Rocky Hill School District Board of Education is made up of nine seats. Elected members serve three-year terms. Each January, the board elects a new board president and vice president.

Board members act on the superintendent’s recommendations, meet with civic groups, and receive input from parents, students, and community members."

Six candidates will appear on the November 7 ballot. They are competing for three open positions on the board, each is a three-year term.
