The Salem School Committee is a publicly elected, seven-member policy-making body responsible for the oversight of the school system. The School Committee is a legislative body that develops, evaluates, and oversees the district’s policies, consistent with federal and state laws and regulations. As such, the School Committee sets the direction in which the system must go, and establishes criteria to determine if its goals and policies are being met.
