The School Committee
Dartmouth’s School Committee has five members, all elected town-wide to staggered three-year terms. The committee sets district policy, approves the school budget, and hires and evaluates the Superintendent who runs the schools day to day. It meets at the district office at 8 Bush Street, and the meetings are public, which means a Dartmouth student who shows up can speak.
