The Florence 1 Schools Board of Trustees is composed of nine members who meet monthly to make decisions which set the direction of the district in many areas.  They are charged with policy making, planning, goal setting, providing school buildings, and adopting an annual budget to finance instructional programs and services.  They must also be familiar with important legal decisions as well as state and national legislation and regulations. Board members are elected according to a single member district plan.   Florence One is divided into nine districts, and elections are held in 3 districts on a rotating schedule. Board members are elected for a four-year term of office.

Monthly Board of Trustees meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of each month (unless changed by a board majority vote). The meetings begin at 7:00 P.M.
