Board of Directors

PAC 2011 - 2012 Board of Directors

The Pilgrim Area Collaborative is governed by a Board of Directors composed of representatives from each member school district. Board members may be a School Committee representative, Superintendent of Schools, or designee of the Superintendent such as a Special Education Director. A representative from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is an advisory member of the Board of Directors. The primary responsibility of members of the PAC Board of Directors is "to establish services, programs and procedures that will best produce the educational services needed by member towns. The Board is charged with accomplishing this while also being responsible for the wise management of available resources. The Board must fulfill these responsibilities by functioning primarily as a legislative body to formulate and adopt policy, by electing an executive officer to implement policy and by evaluating results. It must carry out its function openly, while seeking the comments of the public, students and staff in its decision-making process."


The Board of Directors meets monthly. You can find the schedule of meetings and meeting minutes HERE.
