- Kent Kern (2006-2007; 2014-)
There has been one interim chairman, General Davie, for 5 days in 1988, and eventually he became chairman from 2007-2008.
There have been 5 Special Elections for the board to vote for chairman:
1988 Replacement Election: Dennis Guikema (3-5) vs Suüsef Bourdani (2-5)
1996 Special Election: Mik'ari Brown (Incumbent) (4-1) vs William B. Johnson (1-4)

2008 Special Election: Glynn Thompson (3-2) vs Michael McKibbin (2-3)
2020 Coronavirus Cycle: Kent Kern (Incumbent) (5-0) [Unopposed]
- Much of the time, soon after superintendents are appointed, they will likely become chairman after the current chairman leaves office, in that case, they will still remain superintendent.
