School Committee & Superintendent
The Superintendent
Christine Pruitt, Ed.D.
About 3,297 students start their day in this district, and one person answers for all of it. Christine Pruitt leads Easton Public Schools, proposing the school budget, setting academic priorities, and running the district day to day, from the preschool through Oliver Ames High School. The Superintendent is hired by and reports to the elected School Committee, which evaluates her work. Easton runs its own district rather than a regional one, so all five committee seats are filled by Easton voters and the whole committee answers to this town.

The School Committee
The Easton School Committee has five members, all elected town-wide. The committee sets district policy, approves the school budget, and hires and evaluates the Superintendent who runs the schools day to day. Its meetings are public, which means an Easton student who shows up can speak, and any resident can ask for an item to be put on the agenda through the Superintendent’s office.
