Areas of Responsibility:
Making decisions to fulfill the educational needs of children is the primary responsibility with which the citizens entrust the school committee.

Under education reform the school committee deliberates on a range of issues and concerns at a broad policy level, such as:

• System-wide goals
• Policy development
• Hiring and evaluating the Superintendent of Schools
• Community relations
• Budget review and approval
• Health and safety
• Curriculum approval
• Collective bargaining

We will work to improve our instruction, leadership, operations and finance so all students are engaged in their education in a way that develops their capacity to pursue their goals and fosters life-long learning. (Full Mission Statement available)
