Pivot Charter Schools are governed by the board of the Roads Education Organization, which is incorporated in the State of California as a non-profit, public benefit corporation, and has been designated by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501c3 tax-exempt organization. Roads Education Organization recruits qualified and appropriate candidates for the board from education, nonprofit, community, business, and legal organizations so that the current board is diverse in skill sets, perspectives, and backgrounds and can fully and responsibly govern the organization and schools while maintaining a unifying and passionate commitment to the vision and mission of the Pivot schools.

The Governing Board is responsible for oversight of the Pivot Charter Schools. While they do not engage in day to day operations, the Board hires, evaluates, and dismisses the Executive Director, who is responsible for running the schools. The Board is fully responsible for oversight of the fiscal and operational affairs of the schools.
