There are 14 representatives on the HUUSD board, two each from Warren, Fayston, Waitsfield, Moretown and Duxbury and four from Waterbury. Board members are elected to staggered three-year terms.
Any interested Fayston resident can throw their hat in the bring seeking appointment to the board and will serve until Town Meeting on March 3, 2026. At that point that person could seek election to serve the balance of that term, until Town Meeting 2027.
