School board
The district is governed by a five-member elected board of education. Board members are elected by district for four-year terms. As of December 2014 the school board members are Michael McQuary, Kevin Beiser, John Lee Evans, Richard Barrera, and Marne Foster.
Superintendent
The superintendent is appointed by the school board. From 2010 through 2013 the superintendent was Bill Kowba, a retired Navy rear admiral. On February 26, 2013, Kowba announced his retirement, effective June 30. The next day, February 27, the school board unanimously appointed elementary school principal Cindy Marten as the new superintendent. The quick appointment, without a search process or community input, was described as "highly unusual - virtually unheard of" by the San Diego Union Tribune.
