The Portage Public School District is served by a seven-member Board of Education. The Board annually elects a President, a Vice-President, and appoints a Secretary. The Board is responsible for selecting and appointing a Chief Executive Officer who serves as the  Superintendent of Schools. The Board meets as a body to set or amend policy, develop educational goals, review and approve District budgets, and act on the recommendations of the Superintendent.

For further information about the Board of Education, contact Board Recording Secretary Edna Kent at 323-5148.
