The Board of Education consists of seven non-salaried, uncompensated individuals who are elected by the community for staggered three-year terms.  Under the Education Law of NYS, the Board is a corporate body responsible:

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