Welcome to the Hyde Park Central School District's Board of Education Page.

The Board of Education consists of seven non-salaried, uncompensated individuals who are elected by the community for staggered three-year terms and one student ex-officio board member.  Under the NY State Education Law, the Board is a corporate body responsible for:

• the education of students who attend the schools of the district;
  
• the preparation of the annual budget;
• district adherence to state law and State Education Department regulations;
• the establishment of policies;
• and for the adoption of regulations concerning the conduct of the public schools.

The Superintendent of Schools is charged with the administration of Board policies.
