In addition to the general officers, the Board of Directors is made up of 13 members-at-large, elected from the following groups:

• Elementary-of which there are seven representatives
• Middle Level-of which there are two representatives
• 5-8 magnet centers and any members not represented by the elementary, middle, or high school levels-of which the is one representative, and
• Senior High-of which there are three representatives.Board members are elected for two-year terms by Association members within the groups they represent, while officers are elected by all members of the Association for three-year terms.The Bylaws of the Association guarantee ethnic minority representation on the Board of Directors in proportion to the ethnic minority membership in the Association. Special elections are held for ethnic minority representatives should they be required.

In addition, the Board has a continuing policy that there be proportional representation of OEA Board members with one board member for every 300 potential members or major fraction thereof. The Board requires the Governance Committee to review the number of members in each group (Elementary, Middle, 5-8 magnet centers and any members not represented by the elementary, middle, or high school levels, and Senior) every five years to ensure continued proportional representation on the Board of Directors
