The Union Springs Central School District's Board of Education is composed of nine members from the Union Springs Central School District community. Voters elect members to serve overlapping three-year terms. At the end of his/her term, the board member can run for reelection. State law does not limit the number of terms that a member may serve. Voting for school board officials is held in conjunction with the annual budget vote in May.

Board of Education members are unpaid officials elected to take formal, legal actions and assume the major responsibility for the conduct of the schools. The Board of Education must delegate certain responsibilities to the Superintendent of Schools, who makes reports and recommendations to the Board of Education. Board members vote on all major business transactions.

Board of Education meetings are generally held the second and fourth Mondays of the month beginning at 7:00 p.m. and are generally in the High School Library.
