The Brainerd Public Schools Board of Education, or School Board, is the elected body responsible for governing finances and policies, establishing and monitoring the strategic direction and goals, and hiring and evaluating the district's superintendent, who serves as the district's chief executive. 

The School Board is comprised of six directors, elected by voters. The superintendent also serves as an ex officio member of the board. Board members serve four-year terms, beginning in January following their election in November. Each year, in January, the school board selects its leadership, which includes a chair, a vice chair, a clerk, and a treasurer. 

The Board of Education meets regularly on the second Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in room 208 of the Washington Educational Services Building, located at 804 Oak Street. Any special board meetings are assembled as needed and will be posted in accordance with the Open Meeting Law and guidelines.

All meeting information is also available at the Office of the Superintendent at 218-454-6912.
