The voters of the district elect each of the seven members of the Carthage Central School District Board of Education.

Board members serve for three-year terms without pay and are responsible under state law for establishing the policies governing the operation of the Carthage Central School District.

Regular meetings of the Board of Education are held on the second and fourth Monday of the month (unless otherwise noted) beginning at 6:00 pm in the Carthage Middle School Library. The Board provides opportunities for members of the community to speak during the public forum at the beginning of the meeting. Residents may address the board by making statements, requesting information or presenting particular viewpoints. The public is invited to attend all meetings of the Board on those dates listed on the calendar.

Board of Education decisions affect the education of all our children as well as the well being of our communities. The Board can better represent the constituents when members of the community take the time to observe the Board in action, ask questions and express opinions. The Board is pleased to have residents at the meetings and encourages participation.
