The Superintendent
Brad Crozier
About 609 students start their day in this district, and one person answers for all of it. Brad Crozier is the Interim Superintendent of Carlisle Public Schools, the town’s own kindergarten-through-grade-eight district, proposing the school budget, setting academic priorities, and running the Carlisle School day to day. The Superintendent is hired by and reports to the elected School Committee, which carries out an annual evaluation. Carlisle teenagers move on to Concord-Carlisle Regional High School, a separate district the town shares with Concord. The town is running a search for a permanent Superintendent.

The School Committee
The Carlisle School Committee has five members elected town-wide to staggered three-year terms. The committee sets policy for the Carlisle K-8 schools, approves the school budget, and hires and evaluates the Superintendent who runs the schools day to day. Two of its members also serve as Carlisle’s representatives on the Concord-Carlisle Regional committee that governs the high school. Its meetings are public, which means a Carlisle student who shows up can speak.
