The Halifax Elementary
School Committee (the Committeeî) is a five-member committee elected from the
town's population and serves a three-year term, per successful election. The
committee has responsibility for implementing statutory requirements pertaining
to public education and the citizens of Halifax is expectations for the
education of the community's young students. It also has an obligation to
determine and assess the expectations of the parents and citizens of the town
regarding the education of our children and bear these in mind when making
decisions for the school. When citizens elect committee members to represent
them in the conduct of public education, their representatives have the
authority to exercise their best judgment in determining policies, making
decisions, and approving procedures for carrying out these responsibilities.
The Committee is dedicated to the well being and education of the K-6
grade-level students of the town. In connection with this responsibility, the
Committee has management responsibility for making policy decisions,
determining performance standards, participating in the collective bargaining
and creating and operating the school within a budget, set in conjunction with
other elected town officials and the townís voters.
If you wish to be
scheduled to address the Committee regarding a concern or issue at a meeting,
you can contact any Committee member prior to one of the above dates to be
added to the meeting agenda.
Adelphia broadcasts the meetings on the government channel periodically
the week following each meeting.
If you cannot attend a meeting, this is a great way to stay informed
about your child/childrenís school and education.
Thank you for your continued support!
