JOINT SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE

Each local school committee elects 3 of its members to serve on the Union #28 Joint Supervisory School Committee. This governing board is comprised of 15 members, three from each of the 5 communities served by the Union. Each member has an equal vote on the committee and each community is equally represented. The primary duties of the Joint Supervisory Committee are to hire, evaluate and supervise the Union #28 superintendent. It also negotiates the contract for the superintendent, as well as sets the budget for Central Office functions. In addition, the Committee creates policy and procedures that guide the superintendent and/or central office in their operations.
