The board's chairperson is elected by the county at large and does not represent a single post.
The school board appoints a school superintendent; Dr. Frank R. Petruzielo has held this position since February 1999.[5]
Under Georgia state law, individual board members are not permitted to act individually in any capacity but rather as an entire board based on majority rule. The superintendent is responsible for all employees in the district.
