Town Government
Townsend School Committee & Superintendent
The Superintendent
Brad Morgan
About 2,764 students start their day in this district, and one person answers for all of it. Brad Morgan is Superintendent of the North Middlesex Regional School District, proposing the school budget, setting academic priorities, and running a system of schools day to day across three towns. The Superintendent is hired by and reports to the elected School Committee, which carries out an annual evaluation. Because the district is regional, that committee answers to Ashby, Pepperell, and Townsend at once, and no single town controls it.

The School Committee
The North Middlesex Regional School Committee has nine members serving staggered terms: three represent Townsend, five represent Pepperell, and one represents Ashby, with several seats elected at large across the district. 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 Townsend student who shows up can speak.
