Town Government
School Committee & Superintendent
The Superintendent
Michael Jette
About 690 students start their day in this district, and one person answers for all of it. Michael Jette leads Hull Public Schools, proposing the school budget, setting academic priorities, and running the district’s two schools day to day. The Superintendent is hired by and reports to the elected School Committee. Note what this means for the money: the school budget is the one large piece of town spending the Town Manager does not build. Hull’s charter says so in both directions: the manager supervises every town department except the schools, and the school budget travels from the Superintendent to the School Committee, and then to the same Town Meeting that votes everything else.

The School Committee
The Hull School Committee has five members, all elected town-wide to staggered three-year terms at the town elections held each May. Hull is a single-town district, so all five answer to Hull voters and nobody else. The committee sets district policy, approves the school budget, and hires and evaluates the Superintendent, and its members train through the Massachusetts Association of School Committees. Meetings are held on the first Monday of every month at 6:30 pm in the Hull High School Second Floor Exhibition Room, unless otherwise posted, and they are public, which means a Hull student who shows up can speak.

The committee publishes each member’s district email address on its own page at hullpublicschools.org, and emails to and from the committee are part of the public record.
