School Committee
The 10 community members of the Ralph C. Mahar School Committee work with School Union 73 to ensure that the students in our schools receive the best education possible. The committee meets together regularly to make decisions regarding school policies, budget allocations, and educational goals.
Please Join Us
We welcome the public to attend our board meetings. We value your input and invite you to provide your comments regarding the items open for review. Though we don’t have a regular meeting schedule, we strive to meet monthly. You’ll find the meeting notices on the My Town Government website.
