The Sunnyside School District Board of Directors consists of five citizens of the school district. Each is elected for a four-year term from the specific director district in which he or she resides. Any adult may run for election to the board if he or she can meet certain legal qualifications.

School board members attend meetings, keep communications open with members of the community and make policy decisions that have a direct impact on what and how Sunnyside children learn. School board members are also responsible for maintaining buildings and grounds, balancing the budget, protecting the district's legal interests, and planning for the future.

Regular meetings of the school board are held on the last Thursday of each month. A schedule of all regular meetings is available from the Superintendent's Office or the District calendar. Meetings are held at the Denny Blaine Boardroom, 810 E. Custer Ave. Meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. and last about two hours. The Board of Directors does allow public comment, please review the SSD Board of Directors Public Comment Protocol, if you would like to make public comment.
