Texas law grants the board of trustees the power to govern and oversee the management of the district's schools. The board is the policy-making body within the district and has overall responsibility for the curriculum, school taxes, annual budget, employment of the superintendent and other professional staff, and facilities. The board has complete and final control over school matters within limits established by state and federal law and restrictions.

The board of trustees is elected by the citizens of the district's children. Trustees are elected annually and serve three-year terms. Trustees serve without compensation, must be registered voters, and must reside in the district.

The board usually meets the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Detroit High School library. Special meetings may be called when necessary. A written notice of regular and special meetings will be posted on the door of the Central office, and this web site at least 72 hours before the scheduled meeting time. The written notice will show the date, time, place, and subjects of each meeting. In emergencies, a meeting may be held with a two-hour notice.

All meetings are open to the public. In certain circumstances, Texas law permits the board to go into a closed session from which the public and others are excluded. Closed session may occur for such things as discussing prospective gifts and donations, real property acquisition, certain personnel matters including employee complaints, security matters, student discipline, or to consult with attorneys regarding pending litigation.
