The Members of the Board of Education
The Carle Place Board of Education
The Board of Education is composed of five 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. As your representatives, the Board exercises the community's rights to citizen control over 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.
Meetings of the Board of Education are held in the North Cafeteria of the High School on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 8 PM, unless otherwise specified. Residents of the district are invited to attend Board of Education meetings and are offered the opportunity to address the Board, if they desire to do so.
