School board meetings are held each month at 6:00 p.m. unless other wise posted and the upcoming meeting is set during the current month’s meeting. The Wall ISD website does not specify a certain day for the school board's meeting but, according to the Open Meetings Act, the meetings must be announced at least 72 hours prior and according to the Wall ISD website, the way to confirm dates and times of meetings is to check the Wall ISD website under news. Over the past six months, the meetings appear to occur on the second or third Wednesday of the month.

It is not a requirement for every member of the school board to be present at every meeting, but the goal of the Wall ISD Board of Trustees is that each meeting is scheduled so that all board members can be in attendance.

The Wall School Board Election will be held on May 4, 2024.
