There are two Office of the Board positions, President and Secretary, that are annually elected by the district for one-year terms at the end of each fiscal year. By law, at least two board members must be appointed by the Board of Alderman and remaining members are elected by county residents living within the Municipal Separate School District. As of May 2017 the school board members are: S. Ray Hill; Marian Barksdale, President; Romana Reed; Brian Harvey, Superintendent; Gray Edmondson, Secretary; and, Scott Shipman.

The superintendent is voted on and elected by the school board. From 2013 through 2017 the superintendent was Brian Harvey. Harvey graduated from the district in 1990 and worked in the district for 17 years; as a middle and high school teacher, the assistant principal at Oxford High School, and the principal at both Central Elementary and Oxford Middle School. While serving as interim superintendent, Harvey was appointed after the previous superintendent, Kim Stasny, died from a short illness.
