School Committee's Online Comment Form

This form is one way for community members to share questions and feedback with the School Committee on an ongoing basis. The Committee will address as many questions and comments as possible verbally at the beginning of each regularly scheduled School Committee meeting.

About the School Committee

The Belmont School Committee is an unpaid six-member board elected to three-year terms at Belmont's annual Town Election.  Terms overlap so two members are elected per year. By state law (chap 71, State Law Chapter 71, the School Committee is the policy setting entity for the public schools.  It also appoints the Superintendent, approves several other key positions, approves the budget, and negotiates with school unions.

The Warrant Committee recommends and, ultimately, Town Meeting appropriates, a yearly budget for the school system as a single line item. The School Committee has full control over how that money is spent. By law the School Committee holds a public hearing before approving its budget.
