Board of Education
The seven members of the Otsego Board of Education stand behind, and work toward, fulfilling the district's Strategic Plan. The Board of Education keeps your children in mind as it makes the tough decisions regarding funding, staff, curriculum and outside activities. Despite the challenges schools face today, the Otsego Public Schools Board of Education is focused on what's best for our students.
Our board members are elected for six-year terms; members are elected in November of even years.
