About the School Board

The Hardeman County Board of Education meets the second Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in the board room at Central Office, 10815 Old Highway 64, Bolivar, TN.

The Hardeman County Board of Education is composed of nine members. Members of the board must be residents of and elected on a non-partisan basis from districts that are substantially equal in population. They must be citizens of recognized integrity, intelligence and ability to administer the duties of the office. To qualify as a candidate, individuals must show proof of graduation from high school or recipient of a G.E.D. No member of the Hardeman County Board of Commissioners or any other local governmental official can be eligible to be elected to the board of education.

Members of the board of education serve four-year staggered terms. Vacancies on the board can be declared to exist based upon death, resignation, removal from the district in which the individual was elected, removal from the school system or through due process proceedings. When a vacancy occurs, the unexpired term will be filled at the next regular or special meeting of the Hardeman County Board of Commissioners, and that appointment will continue until the next regular election.
