School Committees
The School Committees are elected bodies which represent the entire community. They establish educational goals and policy for the operation of the school systems. During public meetings, the School Committees reach decisions by majority vote. In addition, the School Committees review and approve budgets. They also select, appoint, and evaluate the Superintendent of Schools.
