The Board of Education is the official policy-making body of the school district. Lakeland's Board of Education is comprised of nine school district residents who are elected by voters to three-year terms in the annual election each spring. Terms are staggered so that three members are elected each year. Board members serve without compensation. Board members attend at least two public meetings each month along with committee meetings and various school-related activities. At the annual organizational meeting in July, the Board elects a president and vice-president.

- Defining the purpose of the Lakeland School District
