The Riviera ISD Board of Trustees is elected by the citizens of the district to ensure a strong educational program for our children. Trustees are elected on a rotating schedule and serve four-year terms. Trustees serve without compensation. They must be registered voters and reside in the school district.

Riviera ISD school board usually meets every third Wednesday at the Margery Malin Library. Special meetings may be called when necessary. A written notice of regular and special meetings will be posted on the district website and at the Kenneth Huff Administration Office 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 one-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 or donations, real-property acquisition, certain personnel matters including employee complaints, security matters, student discipline, or consulting with attorneys regarding pending litigation.
