About the Board of Education
Adams 12 Five Star Schools is the policy-making body for the district. Its powers and duties are established in state law. The Board is comprised of five members that are elected to four-year, staggered terms. Board members may serve two consecutive terms. The district has a director district plan of representation which requires that school board members reside in a specific geographic area (Director Districts) within the Five Star School District boundary. Board members are elected by a vote of the electors of the entire school district. The district’s School Finder provides information regarding director districts for specific addresses. Board members are not paid; they give freely of their time to serve the Five Star community.

A special meeting may be called by the board president at any time and shall be called upon written request of a majority of board members.
