Sioux City Community Schools -

Sioux City citizens elect seven members to serve as their representatives on the Board of Education for the Sioux City Community School District. In turn, the Board is responsible for the governance of public education in Sioux City. 

Board members in Iowa are elected to four-year terms. Elections are held every other year on the second Tuesday in November, and new members are sworn in at the annual meeting. At this meeting, the Board elects a Board president and vice president from among its members. Election of Board leadership occurs annually.  

In addition to their responsibilities on the Board, members also serve on a variety of District committees, represent Sioux City Community Schools on a variety of local, state, and national organizations, and maintain cooperative relationships with both national organizations and local governmental bodies. 

The seven members of the Sioux City Community School Board are elected to four-year terms in odd-numbered years. The current President of the Sioux City Community School Board is Jan George and the Vice President is Treyla Lee.

Board members and the District work cooperatively with Woodbury County and the City of Sioux City on various initiatives. The school board and District are also actively engaged with community organizations – such as United Way of Siouxland and the Sioux City Public Schools Foundation – on a wide range of issues.

The Sioux City Community School Board is also an active member of the Urban Education Network, which represents Iowa’s largest school districts that serve more than 40% of the state’s students.
