Meet the Board of Education

Board members are your elected representatives; they invite you to make your concerns known to them.
The Superintendent of Schools and members of the Superintendent's Administration are present at Board Meetings. The Superintendent is the district's Chief Executive Officer. The Superintendent is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the school district, implementation of the educational programs and policies adopted by the Board and the execution of all decisions made by the Board concerning the internal operations of the school system.

A strong and active partnership between the school district and the community is essential to insuring quality education for our children. By attending meetings of the Dobbs Ferry Board of Education, you will help to strengthen that partnership.
One of the goals of the Board of Education is to conduct its business openly, soliciting and encouraging broad-based involvement in the decision-making process by residents, staff and students.
Board of Education decisions affect the education of our children and the well-being of our community. The Board can best represent its constituents when residents take the time to join us, observe the Board in action, express their opinions and raise questions.
The Board welcomes public participation at its meetings. Public comments are invited following Board of Ed discussion on specific issues on the agenda.
