Meet the Board

The Bethlehem Central Board of Education is comprised of seven voting members who serve three-year terms. Members are elected by the voters in the district to establish policy and direct the administration of our schools. There are also two ex-officio student members of the Board, who have been appointed to represent the student body. As your representatives, the Board exercises the community’s rights make decisions about public education. Every Board of Education in the state of New York has legal and financial control over local school matters, subject only to limitations imposed by the United States Constitution, federal law, state law, regulations of the Commissioner of Education and, of course, the will of local residents as expressed in local elections.
