Pike County Board of Education

The Pike County Board of Education consists of six members representing six geographic districts. Board members serve four year terms. Three board seats are elected in a presidential election year and three are elected during a gubernatorial election year. 

The Board of Education holds monthly meetings to discuss budgets, operations, and educational strategy and is committed to providing the resources necessary to prepare our students to become creative problem-solvers while honoring the contribution of each tax payer. To this end, Pike County has remained one of the lowest per-pupil expenditure school systems in the state and nation, despite introducing a wave of new ideas, innovations, and technologies into the classroom. Our School District has also maintained one of the region’s lowest tax rates, as total school taxes levied have remained the same or decreased for the past four years.
