About the Board

The ACSD Board is made of, and elected by citizens of Bridport, Cornwall, Middlebury, Ripton, Salisbury, Shoreham, and Weybridge, and is responsible for ensuring the education and welfare of the children of member towns in its District schools. Each board member is elected at large, and therefore represents the interests of all students in the District (not just the town in which they live).

The founding vision of the ACSD Board is that all students will meet their full academic potential and be prepared for success as engaged citizens. It is the Board’s responsibility to set goals, conduct high-level planning, establish policy, and allocate resources in support of this vision, as well as provide oversight and develop monitoring systems to track progress. And as a public entity, the Board must engage the community in its work.

The Board hires, supervises, and evaluates the Superintendent, who is responsible for the operation of all District schools. So while the Board sets priorities and guides the Superintendent and his or her administration in their work, it does not manage day-to-day school operations.  To learn more about the essential work of school boards, please visit the Vermont School Board Association website. 

The ACSD Board currently has five committees to support its work; Communications and Engagement, Facilities, Finance, Negotiations, and Policy Committees.  Information about each committee can be found on our Board Committees page.
