Town Government
Rockport School Committee & Superintendent
The Superintendent
Dr. Mark Branco
About 622 students start their day in this district, and one person answers for all of it. Dr. Mark Branco is Superintendent of Rockport Public Schools, proposing the school budget, setting academic priorities, and running the town’s two schools day to day. The Superintendent is hired by and reports to the elected School Committee, which carries out an annual evaluation. Because Rockport runs its own single-town district, that committee answers to Rockport voters alone, which keeps the line between a parent’s concern and the person who can act on it unusually short.

The School Committee
The Rockport School Committee has five members, 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. Its meetings are public, which means a Rockport student who shows up can speak.
