School Committee & Superintendent
The Superintendent
Robert Mullaney
About 1,169 students start their day in this district, and one person answers for all of it. Robert Mullaney is Superintendent of Millis Public Schools, proposing the school budget, setting academic priorities, and running the district day to day. The Superintendent is hired by and reports to the elected School Committee, which carries out an annual evaluation. Because Millis runs its own single-town district, that committee answers to the voters of one town, and its biggest project right now is the rebuilt middle and high school that the town voted to fund in 2025.

The School Committee
The Millis School Committee has five members, all elected town-wide on 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. Its meetings are public, which means a Millis student who shows up can speak.
