Our Purpose
Our Purpose
As instruments of the Massachusetts Legislature, local School Committees derive their authority from Massachusetts General Laws, statutes, and the State Board of Education regulation.
The Wakefield School Committee comprises seven voting members elected to staggered three-year terms. The School Committee operates under the MGL Ch. 71 and 41 which delegates its authority. The Educational Reform Act of 1993, Ch. 71 S. 37 specifies this authority as follows:
"The School Committee in each city and town and each regional school district shall have the power to select and to terminate the Superintendent, shall review and approve budgets for public education in the district, and shall establish educational goals and policies for the schools in the district, consistent with the requirements of law and statewide goals and standards established by the State Board of Education."
The School Committee determines the overall School Department policy and budget. The School Committee conducts public meetings which are broadcast on a local TV station. The Committee and Superintendent continually seek ways to obtain sufficient funding to support its programs from available sources at the local, state, and federal levels.
Regular Meetings
Regular Meetings
The Wakefield School Committee regularly meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month, with one meeting in July and December. This schedule is subject to change. The School Committee meets at 7:00 p.m. at the WCAT Studio, directly behind Wakefield Memorial High School and next to the field house.
