School Committee

The Worcester School Committee is the legislative and policy-making body that deals with supervision of the Worcester Public School System. Under M.G.L. Chapter 71, Section 37, the School Committee selects and terminates the superintendent, approves public education budgets in the district and sets educational policies and goals for each school in the district consistent with the laws, goals and standards set by the MA Board of Education.

The School Committee also conducts collective bargaining, appoints senior school administrative personnel, approves textbooks that are utilized in the school system and, under state guidelines, reviews and approves private schools operating within the City of Worcester.

The School Committee agendas and minutes open in a new window and are in PDF format. If you are not able to open these PDF documents, you may download the free Acrobat Reader by visiting the Adobe website.
