Three TRS members ("Teacher Members") are elected to the Board and serve three-year terms. The Mayor appoints two of the Board members, one of whom must be a member of the Department of Education's Panel for Education Policy. The other two Board members are the Comptroller of the City of New York and the Chair of the Department of Education's Panel for Educational Policy. Each may designate a representative to act in his or her behalf.
