   2008-2009 District Athletic Boards

The OHSAA member schools are divided geographically into six districts and are represented by District Athletic Boards.  The District Athletic Boards conduct sectional and district tournament contests.  Member school administrators are elected to six year terms as District Board members by a vote of the high school principals of the member schools in that district. Each class (A, AA, AAA) has two members on the six member board. One member is elected to the State Board of Directors and serves a two year term.  The District Board contracts with a Treasurer and Secretary to conduct the financial and administrative responsibilities of the Board.
