The Cottonwood School Board holds monthly public meetings, open to parents, students, and staff.
It consists of five elected members who serve three-year terms and live within the school's service area. Board meeting agendas are posted on the school's website. The Board is a policy-making body operating within California and El Dorado County laws. Board members go through an application process, including interviews and nominations. They are responsible for approving the school's budget and policies.
