The Oskaloosa Community School District Board is authorized by and derives its organization from Iowa law. The Board will consist of 7 Board Members. Board Members are elected at-large.

The retiring Board will adjourn and the new Board will then begin. The School Board Secretary will administer the oath of office to the newly-elected Board Members. The Board Secretary or designee will preside while the new Board elects the president and vice-president of the new Board.
