About the Buncombe County Board of Education

There are seven members of the Board of Education who are elected to serve 4-year terms. One candidate is elected from each of the six districts and one at-large. Candidates are elected on a nonpartisan basis. Voters in each district vote for candidates from all districts and for the at-large candidate. The Superintendent is appointed by the Board and serves as secretary to the Board.

Board meetings are scheduled for the first Thursday of each month. Meetings begin with a closed session that typically starts at 5:30 p.m. and the general session at 6:30 p.m. Meetings are held at the Administrative Services Building, 175 Bingham Road, in the Board Auditorium.

Individuals who wish to address the board may sign up at the Board meetings. There is a time limit of three minutes on public comments. Any person or group wishing to make a formal presentation to the Board or to address the Board must file a written request to be placed on the agenda at least seven days prior to a meeting.

For more information please contact: Connie Jackson, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent/Board, 828.232.4160
