Board of Education Application

• Applications can be completed using the form found on www.pikeroad.us (Select the Quality of Life tab > Education). Applications may be submitted any time during the year. Applications submitted after the selection process will be placed in the selection process for the following year only.

 

• Applications will be reviewed by the Town Council for compliance with Alabama law. The School Board Review Committee (consisting of individuals from the Pike Road Town Council) will further evaluate the applications.

​

• The School Board Review Committee and possibly others will conduct interviews as needed. 

​

• The School Board Review Committee will make recommendations to the town council who may, in turn, hold a final vote or consider another individual(s).  The town council has the right to confirm one of the names considered by the committee or nominate and confirm another individual.

​

• The school board members are appointed to five-year terms and are set by a staggered rotation with one individual either rotating off each year or being reappointed for another five-year term.

​

• An unfulfilled term of an individual replacing a school board member leaving before their term is complete is considered one term whether it be one, two, three, four, or five years. A school board member may serve two consecutive terms but must have a break in service of one year after that in order to be appointed to another term.

​

• Statutory requirements for being eligible to serve on the school board can be found on the Alabama Association of School Board's website: https://www.alabamaschoolboards.org/get-onboard-aasb.​​
