The School Committee Welcomes You to Chelmsford

The Chelmsford School Committee is a legislative body comprised of five members each elected for a three-year term at the Town Election in April, whose primary responsibility is to:

  • Oversee the annual school budget.
  • Develop school system policies.
  • Hire and review the performance of the Superintendent.
