Governance: Newton School Committee The Newton School Committee is the district’s governing body and consists of nine voting members: one member elected citywide from each of Newton’s eight wards, and the mayor, who serves ex officio. Members serve two-year terms and may not serve more than four consecutive terms (eight years total). Each elected member receives an annual stipend of $7,750. The School Committee derives its authority from the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, from statute, and from the regulations of the State Board of Education, operating in accordance with M.G.L. Chapters 71 and 41. Under the Education Reform Act of 1993, the Committee has the power to select and terminate the Superintendent, to review and approve the budget for public education in the district, and to establish educational goals and policies consistent with law and statewide standards.
