SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS
School board members in Iowa are elected to four-year terms. Elections are held every other year on the first Tuesday in November, and new members begin their term at the following board meeting. The school board then elects a president and vice president from among its members to serve one-year terms.
In addition to school board members, board members serve on a variety of district committees. Board members and the school district work cooperatively with Cedar and Scott County on various initiatives.
The Bennett Board of Directors is an active member of the Iowa Association of School Boards and the Rural School Advocates of Iowa.

BOARD COMMUNICATIONS, EXPECTATIONS AND PROCEDURES
Members of the community may contact individual board members or the entire board via email. The primary response will most likely come from the superintendent, or board president, on behalf of the entire board. Individual board members may or may not respond to individual emails, which is a personal choice.
The overall consensus of the board is to allow the district contact most directly related to an issue to provide a detailed response rather than seven responses redirecting to the primary contact. While you may not receive a direct response from all board members, all board members are committed to reading all community correspondence submitted with respect. Communications containing derogatory language will not be provided a response.
The best way to communicate with the district is to follow the chain of command, beginning with the staff member most directly related to your question or concern and then proceeding to their immediate supervisor and so forth. See the BCSD Chain of Command/Communications Chart linked below.
