Elections

The Wauwatosa School Board consists of seven community members who are elected at-large by Wauwatosa voters.

Members are elected to a three-year term with elections held for three members one year, and four members the next year. There is no election in the third year unless there is a vacant seat to fill. Members serve on a voluntary basis with no financial compensation. 

At the end of three years, members may run for re-election. Elections are held in April and terms begin with the Board's next meeting. If a vacancy occurs during a term, the Board will appoint someone to the role until the next election for the district.

The Board holds an annual reorganization meeting on or within 30 days after the fourth Monday in April. The meeting is called to order by the ranking officer of the preceding Board who serves as presiding officer until the election of the Board President. The Board also elects, from among its members, a President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and a Clerk.

This webpage will be updated throughout the election cycle. The next regular election for the Wauwatosa School Board will take place on April 1, 2025.
