As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with three seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district.[14] [15] The seats on the board of education are allocated to the constituent municipalities based on their population, with East Hanover Township, Florham Park and Hanover Township each assigned three seats.[16]
