The Acushnet Public School's School Committee consists of five members who are elected to three-year terms in the Town Elections. 

In the context of Chapter 71, Section 37 of Massachusetts General Laws, our primary responsibilities are:

• review, approve and oversee the annual school budget

• hire and evaluate the performance of the superintendent

• establish policy and goals for the school district

• advocate for the students in the school district

The School Committee generally meets the second Tuesday of each month during the school calendar year in the Library at the Albert F. Ford Middle School.  Meetings are public and are conducted under the rules of Massachusetts Open Meeting Law.
