The governing board is composed of an equal number of staff and parent representatives. In high schools, two student representatives are included in its composition; all are voting members. Two non-voting community representatives are appointed by the voting members. The principal takes part in the meetings but is not entitled to vote.
The total number of seats for school staff must equal the number of seats for parents. If the General Assembly of Parents fails to elect the required number of parent representatives, a governing board cannot be formed and all powers and responsibilities of the governing board revert to the principal.
